Bordertown   28 Jun 2026
 
GOING: S(7)

Border Blinds and Curtains Rating 0-54 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: +4m 1400m to 1200m, True Remainder.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Refreshing and Utah Joe kicking up to hold out the next wave. WHOOPS A DAISY (12) finished just shy of the frame in fourth last start at Balaklava, an improvement on her tenth at Morphettville Parks the run before. Has the ability to find the winners' list. GUSTY WAY (2) returns from a layoff of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work at Penola. Capable of playing a major role. SWEET 'N' SPICY (10) finished third last start over 1100m at Bendigo, beaten 2 lengths. Ready to go a couple better. JUSTADEXTER (5) didn't threaten in town first-up when tackling tougher opposition but will find this easier with that run out of the way. Gets in well with the 3kg claim and can improve sharply. REFRESHING (6) backs up quickly and while she's been poor in her last two her best form measures up. Keeping safe for a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whoops A Daisy to win.
