Lightning Ridge Race 1 - Mdn Plate
AIRFIELD (2) remains a maiden after nine runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time but after being in contention on the corner could only manage to finish fifth over 950m at Moree. This offers him a great chance of breaking through. MY BOY LOLLIPOP (3) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish seventh over 1100m at Colac. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. GUNNA REIGN (4) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she was never in contention over 950m at Moree, beaten 5 lengths into seventh. Faces an easier assignment so she is a major player. C'MON DONKEY (1) finished 8 lengths away in fourth at his last appearance over 1000m at Narrabri on March 21. This looks a nice race so expect him to finish closer.
