AG N VET NARROMINE COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Expecting a solid tempo set up by Bobby's Secret crossing from the outside stall. ONE MORE THING (12) was a month between runs when a barnstorming Parkes maiden winner over 1000m last time out. Comes here off another let-up and despite the class rise looks a nice chance at juicy odds. PRESS FORWARD (1) has settled at the tail of the field and failed to come on in his two runs this prep. Should race a lot closer today from a far better draw. Goes well third-up so a spike in form is on the cards. BRITISH STATESMAN (2) has improved in the last couple of runs when ridden aggressively, leading all the way to salute at his latest appearance over this distance at Wellington. Big chance again in a similar race with just 0.5kgs more. MIKE (8) will be better for the run but might sneak into the frame fresh from a five-month absence. CHOICE DEEL (6) should be cherry ripe after three runs back and is worth each-way consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: One More Thing each-way.
