Sapphire Coast Race 4 - Excell Printing Country Boosted Mdn Plate
REDS EXPRESS (7) was ridden with more aggression last start and reacted but hanging on well for third over this distance at Queanbeyan. Drawn to enjoy a favourable run again. Very fit and looks ready to finally break through. DAWN ON ME (5) returns from a four-month spell. Raced just twice in the maiden prep and filled two minor placings here at 1000m. Will capitalise on the inside draw and be prominent for a long way. MELODIA PERFECTA (6) resumes. Transferred to Aaron Clarke late last prep and had one run for him, a fourth at Queanbeyan when fresh from a nine-week break. Big chance based on her best form when prepared in Victoria. PURE OCTANE (2) failed on debut at Canberra due to respiratory issues. Can make amends.

Was well-supported at debut, ran last of 11 at Canberra Fedral Mdn on March 8 over 1000m, on a slow track; 11 len behind Travelon Dory carrying 58.5kg at $3.90. Trialled on April 3 at Canberra over 900m and finished fourth. The betting last time suggests he has plenty to offer so worth another chance.

The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1005m, 4.5 len behind Artful Lady with 59kg at $19. Looks tested in this field.

Last start 3rd of 8 at Queanbeyan Mdn-Sw on April 21 over 1000m, 1.5 len behind Do Ya Head In carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. The start before that raced on the pace before fading 7th of 9 at Gundagai 3yo Mdn on April 12 over 1000m, slow going 4.5 len behind Sneaky Pee Cee carrying 56kg at $19. Nice effort last time. Cherry ripe and ready to win.
