Quirindi Race 2 - Disability & Aged Care Services Country Boosted Mdn Plate
TWICE AZ COOL (8) returned from a 14-month spell with an impressive second last start over 1100m at Scone, hanging on well after showing pace to be beaten less than a length. Draws a far better gate this time and with some natural improvement to come he clearly looks the one to beat. ROCK EMPEROR (6) started favourite on debut last time out over 1000m at Tamworth but after leading into the straight found a couple better in the run home. May settle a bit better with the blinkers coming off. Sure to give a great sight. PEPPERINA (10) is back from a 20-week spell. Raced twice in the maiden campaign and did her best work late on each occasion. Will need more ground down the track but while fresh she is a top three hope. LOBBYIST (9) was handy from the outset but lacked a kick at the end of 1400m at Armidale last time. Should be more effective back to this trip so worth including. ENVISIONED (2) is worth another chance off a five-week freshen up with a couple of gear changes.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 10 at Grafton Ctry Mdn on April 7 over 1180m, 11 len behind Archie Maximus carrying 59kg at $81. Second run from a spell faded in the straight 5th of 9 at Armidale Cge Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1100m, 5 len behind Under The Collar carrying 59kg at $71. Others appeal more.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Last start 6th of 8 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Ctry Mdn on March 23 over 1350m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Warbreccan with 55kg at $26. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Gunnedah Mdn-Sw on March 7 over 1300m, 2 len behind Satin Dragon with 56kg at $8. Worth an each-way ticket.

Raced two times to date. At very long odds at debut, got back early 6th of 9 at Scone Super Mdn on March 20 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Lord Remlap with 55kg at $81. Last start 7th of 12 at Tamworth Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind Putinacall with 55kg at $101. Will need to improve sharply.

First starter by Bulleton - Olive Com. Has run a number of unimpressive trials prior to his debut today. Unlikely to trouble this field.

At debut, ran last of 9 at Armidale Cge Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1100m, 8 len behind Under The Collar with 54.5kg at $11. Doubt he will be a factor.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd of 12 at Tamworth Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1000m, 2 len behind Putinacall carrying 58.5kg at $3.40. Plenty of improvement to come and he is among the leading contenders.

First starter. Three-year-old gelding by Press Statement out of Madam Zabeel. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Scone over 900m. Market holds the key.

Second-up. First start 5th of 7 at this track 2yo Hcp on February 21 2025 over 1000m, 6 len behind Social Circle with 55.5kg at $10. Went for a spell before returning sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Scone Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1100m, 0.8 len behind Moke Lake carrying 57kg at $8. Only needs to hold that form from the first-up run to be going one better.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Armidale Ctry Mdn on April 16 over 1400m, 3 len behind Midnight Rhythm carrying 55kg at $6.50. The race before that 4th of 8 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn on April 6 over 1280m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Whittello Sun with 55kg at $13. Expect she will be prominent with the help of a nice gate.

Resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign third of 7 at Scone Mdn December 11 over 1600m, 5 len behind Cheval De Bois with 55kg at $4.20. On debut fifth of 12 at Scone Mdn-Sw November 18 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Azure Angel carrying 55.5kg at $18. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.
