Armidale Race 1 - Thunderbolt Equine Vet Services Country Boosted Showcase Mdn Plate
GRACEFUL WARRIOR (5) lightly raced filly who comes here in peak condition and should appreciate the extra ground. Covered ground early and stuck on gamely to secure third over 1190m at Grafton. Gets map favours today and sure to be thereabouts on the quick backup. DIACCETO (4) three-year-old The Autumn Sun gelding from April Thunder on debut for the Melissa Dennett stable. Last two trials had merit and from the low draw he is more than capable of making a winning debut. LITERATURE TYCOON (6) drifted back from the sticky gate and gave away a big start before she chipped away late to finish fifth over 1400m at Tamworth. Further improved now and can race a little closer here. Each-way. REAL HOUSEWIVES (8) earlier runs were okay and should appreciate the drop back to 1400m. Assess on her eye-catching third at Tamworth three starts back over this trip. Improver.

Third-up today. First-up led to the turn then faded 6th of 10 at Tamworth Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1200m, 5 len behind Manaftermidnight carrying 57kg at $17. Second-up 4th of 8 at Tamworth Mdn on February 13 over 1400m, 10 len behind Kirkall with 54kg at $61. Finds a suitable race and is worth including.
