Maryborough Race 8 - Hurse Plumbing 2Yo Pace
BOYSTROUS (3) is at the track for the first time. By Tall Dark Stranger and hails from the Alex Ashwood stable. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has strong trial form coming into this. Makes plenty of appeal. STERLING GIGI (4) added to his recent string of strong performances last start when runner-up over 1720m at Melton, beaten 4 metres. Finds a suitable assignment and will be a major force once more. BETTORBUST (7) is a two-year-old colt from the Alex Ashwood yard on debut. Must overcome a very wide draw. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. WICKED TORQUE (1) is a two-year-old filly from the Peter Manning yard on debut. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Was not far away in a recent trial. Finds a nice race so anticipating a bright start to her career.
