GOING: S(7)

COUNTRY MOTOR COMPANY ***BIG DANCE ELIGIBILITY*** NOWRA SHOWCASE CUP 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

Good pace expected with Jamberoo, Master Riley and Affermato paving the way. A showcase over a mile. PEACE OFFICER (7) has been threatening a win in stronger races and is well-placed on a 7-day backup. Brock Ryan is aboard today, and he can win with average luck in running. ROLLING MAGIC (6) is third-up and brings narrow defeats from Rosehill and the Kensington at 72 level. Is back after 9 days and has weight relief at this level. Steps up to the mile and is a live chance. JAMBEROO (2) arrives here third-up and should be ready to find more like his best. Comes back in grade and has the early speed to clear the awkward gate. Has been kept on the fresh side and is well in the mix. LOUIE'S LEGACY (10) is hard to catch but can get some of the money if he puts his best foot forward. Tumbles in weight and that can see him competitive. GOOD PRIZE (5) is also Canberra-trained and will be around the mark with the extra fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Peace Officer.
