Gilgandra Race 1 - W Foster Smash Repairs And Towing Mdn Hcp
MEGAPHONE MISS (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track when fifth after being prominent at the turn. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race with the claim. FINEST ART (3) returns after 18 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a plugging sixth over 1200m at Newcastle. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Dubbo trial. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. KING LESONG (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when sixth over 1000m at Dubbo. Back in class and keep safe on the quick backup. RAINING LUCK (1) is a gelding by Manhattan Rain out of Song Of Luck on debut for the Damien Smith yard. Placed at most recent Wyong trial over 845m. Sure to be thereabouts.

Three-year-old gelding (Manhattan Rain - Song Of Luck). He has three recent trials leading in today's debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Wyong on January 28 over 845m. Could measure up without surprising.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 49 day letup. First-up ran last in a small field at Roma on December 6 over 1000m, 9 len behind Kabukicho with 59kg at $4.80. Second run from a spell 5th of 7 at Moree Mdn on December 20 over 950m, 4.5 len behind Prucia with 55kg at $12. Will not find this easy. Not going well enough at this stage.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at this track Mdn on December 27 over 1200m, 7 len behind Snowball with 56kg at $9.50. The start before that 6th of 10 at Narromine Mdn on December 2 over 1100m, 6 len behind State Of Grace with 53kg at $8.50. Draws out again but capable of a bold run with the claim.
