Wellington Race 1 - Western Truck Group Country Boosted Mdn Plate
MARINERA (9) excellent return when she went out quickly before fading late to run second over 1100m at Mudgee. Fitter now and ready to go on with it after with Neale's claim. HEAD KAHUNA (5) two-start gelding resuming. Has shown enough at both starts and finds a winnable contest to kick off his third prep. Sharpened for this with a 900m trial placing at Scone. Go close. RAYGUN ROCKS (10) returns from a lengthy spell. Drawn out in her two career starts and today is no different. Was a month between runs when she went back from the gate to finish eighth to Beadman over 1250m at Newcastle last April. Can measure up at the first run for a new barn. HANUMAN (1) heavily supported at his first run for the new yard with a fading fifth over 1100m at Dubbo. Deserves another chance with a host of gear changes. PENCILLER (7) capable gelding expected to get off the mark this time in. Maps well and sure to be thereabouts.

Second run back. First-up after six months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 14 at Dubbo Super 3yo+ Mdnsw on March 15 over 1100m, 5 len behind Sir Herridah with 59kg at $1.80. Previously second-up made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on September 5 over 1000m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Bazaball Rewarded carrying 59.5kg at $3. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Resuming after a break; only one run when second last of 9 at Dubbo Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 2 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Baron Of Butter carrying 59kg at $3.40. Might be better off following this outing.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Press Statement out of Life Changing. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Gunnedah over 900m. Well held in recent trials so others are preferred.
