Corowa Race 1 - Wilson Project Group Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
CHEF'S KISS (3) failed to keep up early when on debut with a plugging seventh over 1000m at Wagga. Can improve further over the extra trip and will take catching with the blinkers going on. TOUGH AS STONE (2) Astern gelding from the good producing mare Dal Dal on debut for the Matt Dale yard. Failed to fire in two trials for the Les Bridge yard and can play a leading role in this company. UNDER WRAPS (4) resumes after starting $1.65 fav on debut with a disappointing seventh over 1000m at Wagga last December. Had excuses on that occasion and looks to have strengthened with the one 1000m trial placing. Top-three contender. MY MATE ELVIS (10) only the one placing from eleven starts and back in trip today. Can stalk the good tempo and take a hand in the finish.

Darrell Burnet trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Won a recent Albury trial. Drawn out and place claims look best.

On debut fifth of 9 at Wagga Mdn-Sw November 29 over 1200m, soft track; 8 len behind Demi God with 55.5kg at $13. Others look to have better credentials.

Last start second last of 10 at Albury Mdn-Sw on April 23 over 900m, 6 len behind She's Elusive carrying 59kg at $101. The run before that struggled in the run home; ran last of 14 at Wagga Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1000m, slow going 13 len behind Minks Written with 56kg at $101. Finds a nice race this time and is expected to go very well.

Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 11 at Albury Mdn on April 23 over 1500m, 2.5 len behind Mr Avery carrying 55.5kg at $6.50. Before that got back early 7th of 14 at Wagga Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Pure Melody carrying 58.5kg at $31. Hard fit and going better than his form suggests.
