GOING: H(10)

PORT CITY GLASS COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1250m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Isledon to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. ISLEDON (8) finally returned to the winner's list last start when he shadowed the leader then quickened impressively over 1435m at Grafton. Up in class and back in trip which isn't an ideal scenario, but she is well in after the claim and does have a couple of wins at the distance to her name. NEVADA SMOKE (12) did a good job to finish third over this distance at Taree two runs back then struggled in heavy going over more ground last time. Poorly drawn but a big chance to get back to form in this more suitable contest. RUN RORY RUN (4) stalked the pace then proved a shade too strong over 1405m at Coffs Harbour recently. Three-time winner at this journey so expect he can hold that good form. WONDERWHEN (2) resumes. In the money 6/7 when fresh from a break so don't rule her out. JEUNE DREAMON (9) backs-up six days after a driving win at Coffs Harbour. Cannot be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Isledon each-way in a competitive race to close the card.

Useful type. At the latest run favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head at Coffs Harbour Ctry Bm58 May 31 over 1405m on a heavy track defeating Frappes with 57kg at $4. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 6th of 14 at Taree Bm58 on May 20 over 1250m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Taking The Mikki carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. Impressed last start and can go on with it.

Form hard to fault. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Grafton Bm50 June 8 over 1435m on a soft track defeating Magic Of Millo carrying 56.5kg at $4.50. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 13 at Taree Cl2 on May 27 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 0.5 len behind Shihab carrying 53kg at $101. Plenty to like about her prospects.
