GOING: S(5)

FAR NORTH COAST CONVEYANCING COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1310m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 2.5m 950m-300m. Out 1.5m 300m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Nanakorobi Yaoki leading the charge. CREDIT CONTROLLER (13) drifted back from a wide draw and didn't do much in the straight last start over 1435m at Grafton. Motored late to just miss in the three-way go over the same course and distance the run before which is a good guide to her chances. HARDLEY GREY (8) progressed nicely last time out when second-up from a break, working home late for third over 1435m at Grafton. Five runs at or around today's distance have yielded a win and four placings. Cherry ripe and ready to win. IRISH KNIGHT (2) is back after a four-month spell. Needs more ground but this looks a nice trip while fresh. Watch for him to be flashing home late. VOLFONI (12) found six furlongs too sharp last start but he did attack the line well to be beaten just 1.5 lengths at Grafton. In the right race today so worth following. LIDIA (14) is another who will appreciate getting out over a bit more ground. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Credit Controller and Hardley Grey, both at nice odds.
