Cootamundra Race 8 - Australian Meat Group Country Boosted (Bm58)
NATIONAL ASSET (4) is usually running on strongly in his racing, and he was beaten less than 2 lengths in a stronger field over 1600m at Goulburn 6 weeks ago. Dropping back to 1400m of a freshen up will do him no harm, and he can have a say in the finish here, especially if the track is rain affected. EAST HARLEM (17) may not win often, but at this level he is usually very competitive, including his last start at Bathurst when third. He is reunited with Molly Bourke, and another honest effort is expected. SUNDROP (10) is a consistent mare who broke her win drought at her penultimate start, and then was third against 5 others at Leeton 12 days ago. Brendan Ward sticks with her, and so do we. SEASMOKE (9) was not far away in Highway company at Rosehill 2 starts back of a wide gate, and then was a solid third at Wagga last start. She is having no luck with his barrier draws, but is still worth including in all to be safe. VINARI (6) had an excuse last start, and can make amends.

Second run back. First-up after five months 6th of 10 in a Ctry Bm66 at Corowa on September 14 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Narcissist carrying 58kg at $17. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 in a F&M Bm64 at Kembla Grange on December 11 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Outta Line carrying 58kg at $26. Will need to do a bit more.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run ran second last in a small field in a Bm75 at Canberra on September 18 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Feazabeel carrying 55kg at $21. The race before that raced on the pace before fading ran second last of 9 in a Open Bm79 at Canberra Acton on August 21 over 1900m, 23 len behind Sunburnt Country carrying 53kg at $31. Must be respected.

Third-up today. Resuming tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.25 len in a Ctry Bm58 at Queanbeyan on September 8 over 1200m in soft going defeating Azzucca carrying 57kg at $6. Second run from a spell ran second last of 9 in a Bm58 at Wagga on September 19 over 1200m, 8 len behind I Am Mamwaazel carrying 59.5kg at $3. Capable of more – worth another chance.

On her best form has excellent prospects.
