Ballina Race 1 - Tab Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
PRIVATE MAX (1) brings the strongest exposed form, with two seconds from as many runs this campaign. He's scratched from a later race to run here and this looks a very winnable race on his last start effort. Can go one better this time around. TENDUE'S SPIRIT (3) has improved through the campaign and was third at Murwillumbah after being steadied near the 400m, with the 3kg claim helping offset the quick return. GOSLING (5) also comes through Murwillumbah, where he was third after beginning slowly, and the weight relief gives him a realistic place-to-win platform if he handles the extra ground. SEA TURTLE (7) has the most established placing record of the remaining chances and his Coffs Harbour second had merit given he was slow away and checked near the 1000m, though he has yet to place from repeated tries around this distance. ARABIAN LEGACY (4) is next best.

Has put together two sound seconds this campaign, most recently at Casino where he travelled well behind the leaders and was pipped late, beaten just under a length as a well-supported favourite. The start prior at Lismore had merit after jumping awkwardly and finishing strongly. No surprise to see him go one better out in trip.

Returns from a lengthy ten-month spell after a debut at Gosford where she was bumped at the start, settled back and finished second last, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds. She has trialled at Port Macquarie a few weeks ago, which at least gives her some return-to-racing context. Must lift sharply.

Continued her campaign improvement when third at Murwillumbah, beaten two lengths by Yianni after being steadied approaching the 400m. That was picnic company and this is a harder meeting, but she was near the top of betting and now gets a 3kg claim. Better effort last start in easier, but those figures stack up in this suitable race.

Gets weight relief from the 59kg carried when last at this track, where he was beaten eight lengths after failing to finish off. His Grafton run prior was also well held, though he did make ground from the rear after a bump on jumping. Minor claims only in this suitable race.

Placed on the 10-day back-up at Murwillumbah, finishing third on heavy ground after being slow to begin and beaten two and a half lengths by Bright Outlook. That was picnic company, so he meets a harder assignment here, but the short turnaround is assessed as a positive and he drops from 59kg. Gets back to 1400m now and a forward showing is on the cards.

Returns from a lengthy ten-month spell after ending her last campaign with a last placing at Sunshine Coast, beaten over 19 lengths at long odds after racing keenly and being steadied. She had also been safely held at this track the start prior after covering ground. Others have firmer claims.

Had excuses when second at Coffs Harbour, beginning slowly and being checked near the 1000m before working home evenly, albeit beaten just under seven lengths by G'Day Ausbred. His Port Macquarie fourth prior was sound enough from an outside chance in betting, beaten two and a half lengths. Awkward draw, but he closed strongly last time and can figure again.
