SOUTH COAST BUCCANEERS AFL MASTERS 2026 SEASON LAUNCH COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1425m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Expecting plenty of speed from Dolzino, Turn Left and Delago Serg from Spanish Night. NAGADEC (6) hasn't been far away in recent efforts, beaten 1.6L and 0.4L her past two at this track. She was favourite there last start and while beaten narrowly, the form out of it has already stacked up. Boudvillain sticks and she can get back to winning ways now. VINARI (7) was solid on resumption at Wagga, beaten 2.3L after settling well back in the run. Will be better for that effort and she looks ready to take the next step this time in work. Out in trip should suit and with the added fitness under her belt, she can get back to winning ways. FLYING CHEVROLET (8) broke her maiden here last start in a bunched finish, winning in a photo over 1200m. She closed strongly there and the step out in trip won't be an issue. Second-up record is iffy, but Guymer rides and a forward showing is expected. DOLZINO (1) can feature third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nagadec goes on top.

The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Queanbeyan Mdn December 18 over 1200m defeating Focus Point with 56kg at $3.30. Disappointing last time and will need to improve sharply.
