GOING: S(7)

OUR KIDS COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1550m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Yalla to take up the running with Under Twenty Two and Risk For Reward close at hand. MISS UCHITEL (5) hasn't been far off the mark in her two runs this prep. Raced a lot closer to the speed last start and battled on gamely for a close fifth over 1430m at Grafton. Filled a minor placing at her only try over this course and distance at the end of last prep. Everything points to a big run. PER CAPITA (6) settled at the tail and was never a factor in a disappointing performance at Thangool last time out. Nicely drawn and on his best form can trouble this field so keep him in mind. YALLA (3) was pushed along a fair way from home and dropped off in a poor performance at Ballina recently. Form prior to that was up to scratch. Matt Dunn has backed her up just a fortnight after that failure so she deserves another chance. UNDER TWENTY TWO (1) capped a run of good form with a tough win over 1430m at Grafton last start. Has a big weight to shoulder but he is going too well to dismiss. Last start Ballina maiden winner RISK FOR REWARD (8) can cope with this better company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Miss Uchitel.
