Armidale Race 5 - Guyra Hotel Country Boosted Hcp (C1)
MIDNIGHT RHYTHM (1) really hit his straps to end his first preparation. He was able to come from off the pace and bolted away with his maiden at this track. Looks to have trialled well enough to say he'll be fine especially at the 1300m first up. BIG BRAD (3) showed his best form at Dubbo. He went leading there as opposed to sitting back last. You would have to believe he'll be showing speed again from this draw. BUNDORAN (5) is another who turned the form around by leading. She probably needs the track to stay soft. WOLFCRAIG (2) can be a bit up and down. He prefers to ride the speed so may have to work from this barrier. UNO FRED (6) gets some important gear changes into this. Trial gives him confidence.

Resuming after a seven months break. Not seen since winning won by 2 len this track Ctry Mdn April 16 over 1400m defeating Moonspell with 59.5kg at $1.55. On debut sixth of 10 at Tamworth Ctry Mdn-Sw March 2 over 1000m, 6 len behind Cosmolicious carrying 58.5kg at $11. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Looks all set for an effective return.
