GOING: S(5)

BARRIER REEF POOLS Class 3 Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.97).  

Medals can push forward from an outside draw. BOSSED UP (2) loves this sprint trip with two wins and two placings from five outings and is yet to taste defeat when fresh. Has found the right race to kick off the campaign with a win. DEVASTATING (3) has placed over this course and distance and strips fitter third-up from the spell. Top-three contender. BIOGRAPHER (1) has a handy first-up record and gets some weight off with the claim. In the mix. INSTAGOOD (13) wasn't too far away when resuming and should be better for that. Draws well and is proven at this distance so improvement is likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bossed Up to win.
