Queanbeyan Race 2 - Dale & Hitchcock Country Boosted Mdn Plate
WILL THE THINKER (6) raced forward and placed second over 1200m at Nowra on debut, beaten 2.3L on a heavy track. Will be better for that, and this is easier. Boudvillain is a positive jockey engagement, and the longer sprint shouldn't be an issue. INITIATE (9) is a big threat. Was nudged out three starts back at Goulburn and then again at the Sapphire Coast 8 days ago over 1205m. Led in that and has the inside gate today, back in grade. Keeps Owen and will get every chance to manage the step up in trip. PASSING THROUGH (10) peaks, and the local should be ready to show more like his best Victorian form. Has a low gate and races forward. Has to be considered. EXTREMELY EXCITING (8) has been ordinary in her last two off awkward barriers. Placed here the one prior and draws handy today. Might be the one to include at a price.

Second-up. First-up after three months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Nowra Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Stern Reminder with 56kg at $41. Previously second-up 8th of 12 at Canberra 4yo+ Bm50 on December 12 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Kotaishi carrying 59.5kg at $151. This looks tough.

Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Sapphire Coast Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1005m, 4.5 len behind Artful Lady carrying 59kg at $19. The run before that 9th of 12 at Canberra Fedral Mdn on April 3 over 1000m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Trooper carrying 55.5kg at $41. Better off investing elsewhere.
