Lismore Race 3 - Northern Rivers Concreting Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
PRIVATE MAX (3) had mixed luck in his first prep and returns a gelding. Primed with the two trials and maps to get the gun run from the good gate. AYAKA (4) slashing debut at the big odds ($41), with a closing second over 1006m at Grafton in a tougher race. Tricky draw today, and look for her late over the extra trip. Each way contender. CHECKS'N'BALANCES (6) much better performance when he went forward and gripped on late when second over 1300m at Ballina. Has the speed to get across early and stays in the calculations. ENCONTRE (1) jumped in grade at his second start with a fast finishing third over 1000m at Ballina. Keeps safe.

Last start ran last of 9 in a Super Mdn at Ballina on October 4 over 1000m, 6 len behind Royal Eyre with 57.5kg at $101. Before that 8th of 12 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Grafton on September 21 over 1015m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Brief Authority carrying 59kg at $31. Struggling to be competitive and unlikely to threaten.

Second run back. First-up after six months got back early 9th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Grafton on September 29 over 1006m, slow going 5 len behind Harvey's Turn carrying 54kg at $71. Previously second-up 8th of 12 in a Ctry Mdn-Sw at Grafton on January 25 over 1048m, 4.5 len behind Zosma with 55.5kg at $51. Looks up against it here and prefer others.
