GOING: S(5)

GOULBURN AUSTRALIA COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.15)  

Expecting Faerywood to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. THE LOCAL (2) embarrassed his rivals here on debut when scoring arrogantly. Promising type that's irresistible not to follow up on. CLASSIC TOUCH (3) returns and was well supported throughout last prep before tackling a deep CL2 at Hawkesbury. Has peaks that give this a big shake. Will be looking for further after this but with the blinkers applied he should be sharp. THE GLEN (6) resumes and looms as another danger off the back of some good efforts to close last prep, though the 1100m might prove a touch too nippy. WILLINGHAM (11) worked home nicely into third here last start and strips rock-hard fit. Carries the big weight but draws well with Boudvillain sticking. JUNGLE LIGHTS (4) has been consistent on wet ground and had merit in her Gundagai third after racing wide throughout. Keeping safe for a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Local to win again.

Kooringal Stud (Mgr: A S Lamont), G R Bovis, V Bovis, Mrs P D Dunn, Mrs D L Muddle, P Robson & M J Slattery
Went close over 1300m at Goulburn last start, finishing third behind Wolf Island and beaten a neck after racing keenly early before finishing strongly. He had also run third here over 1400m, beaten two lengths behind Skirmish, so the recent form is solid. Back to 1100m is the query but he remains in the mix.

Made a highly effective debut at Goulburn, winning a Maiden by just under five lengths as a dominant odds-on favourite after settling behind the leaders. The stewards noted he was slow to begin, which adds merit to how decisively he put Jenni Moo Moo away. This is obviously tougher but it was some debut win here and he looks above average.

A D Murdoch
Returns from a five-month break after finishing ninth in a provincial 3yo+ Class 2 at Hawkesbury, beaten just over four lengths after being bumped at the start. Her earlier Goulburn second over 1600m, beaten a neck as odds-on favourite, reads better and she has placed three times from three runs here. Can play a role fresh with the blinkers on.

Kept coming when third at Gundagai on heavy ground, beaten a long neck, and that run had extra merit after she raced wide throughout as favourite. The Albury third before that was also honest, beaten just over a length behind Lord Of Valor on heavy ground. Ticking along well and deserves respect.

Was safely held at Goulburn last start when seventh behind Wolf Island, beaten just over four lengths after settling back and making no impression. Her Moruya fifth before that had more late effort after a slow start, but she was still beaten just over six lengths. Needs improvement.

Returns from a five-month break after closing hard for second at Queanbeyan, beaten a length and a half by Tea Or Coffee as a well-supported favourite. His previous Goulburn fourth came in a Benchmark 58 and included late tightening, so there is depth to the form. Trip is the query, not the class.

Finished fifth at Goulburn last start behind Wolf Island, beaten three and a half lengths after being safely held, and he was also behind Glenn's Legacy in that race. The Moruya run prior was a Class 2 seventh on heavy ground, where he jumped awkwardly and was held up but still failed to quicken. Needs to lift off the Goulburn fifth.

Produced a strong debut win at Queanbeyan in Maiden grade, scoring by just under a length over Wild Romeo after beginning slowly and coming from a long way back. The market let her go at generous odds, so she did more than expected first time out. SCRATCHED.

A Malone
Returns from a five-month break with two trials behind her, including a latest third at Queanbeyan that should bring her on. She led and was run down late when fifth at Goulburn before the spell, beaten just under three lengths by Olington Lane, after winning a Maiden at Queanbeyan by just under two lengths. Has early speed, but must improve off the last Goulburn run.

Had his chance at Queanbeyan over 900m last start, travelling close enough before finishing fourth, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. His previous Benchmark 58 at Moruya was weaker, beaten just over seven lengths after offering little on heavy ground. Others rate higher.

Worked home well from the back when third in a Class 2 at Goulburn last start, beaten two and a half lengths behind Nymphadora at long odds. The Corowa fifth before that, also in Class 2 grade, was sound enough without being decisive. Solid place chance if he repeats the latest effort.
