Queanbeyan Race 2 - Air Force Country Boosted Mdn Hcp
REDS EXPRESS (5) was no match for a dominant winner at the Sapphire Coast last start but did close nicely to be best of the rest. A fairer track this time should suit, as will the rise in trip. Inching towards a maiden win and this presents as a golden opportunity. STEP QUICK (4) missed by 4.3L behind a sharp one at Moruya last week and comes here on the quick turnaround. She steps out to this trip for just the second time but it does looks to suit on what she's done this time in work. Can make an impact. MELODIA PERFECTA (2) will be fitter for the fresh effort and can improve today. FRED ASTERN (3) gets the blinkers on third-up today and can be thereabouts.

Dual acceptor. Raced twice to date. At very big odds at debut, 5th of 12 at Canberra Fedral Mdn on April 3 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Trooper with 59kg at $51. Second-up did the work up front then tired 8th of 10 at Goulburn Ctry Mdn-Sw on May 7 over 1300m, 9 len behind Roonami with 59kg at $8.50. Blinkers go on now and he can make an impression.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 4th of 9 at Orange Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 17 over 1000m, 2 len behind Just Joan carrying 59kg at $5.50. Second run from a spell 4th of 10 at Moruya Mdn-Sw on May 10 over 920m, 4.5 len behind Star Of Lily carrying 59kg at $3.30. Capable of a better showing. On the quick turnaround today and can fire out in distance third-up.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 7 at Sapphire Coast Ctry Mdn-Sw on May 3 over 1005m, 5 len behind Dawn On Me carrying 57kg at $6.50. The start before that 3rd of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on April 21 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Do Ya Head In with 56.5kg at $7.50. Knocking on the door of a maiden win and looks set to go one better this time.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation sixth of 11 at Canberra Cl1-Sw February 6 over 2000m, 10 len behind Doc March with 53kg at $51. On debut ninth of 11 at Gundagai Ctry Mdn November 15 over 1000m, 9 len behind Wonderful Mistake with 54kg at $51. Shows promise but she looks tested in this line-up.

Last start eased back early on 7th of 10 at Moruya Mdn-Sw on May 10 over 920m, 7 len behind Star Of Lily with 55kg at $151. Before that second last of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw on April 21 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Do Ya Head In carrying 57kg at $151. Rates poorly so happy to avoid.
