Ballina Race 1 - Tab Country Boosted Mdn Plate
MANHATTAN DRESS (8) two start maiden improving with racing. Finds a very weak contest here after improving to run second over 1410m at Grafton. Handles the conditions and gets a soft run. ROSSO NERO (3) hard fit now and capable of better in this contest after running seventh over 1400m at Grafton. Each way player. STAR OF KONGO (4) resumes from a lengthy break. Lost rider last time out over 1500m at Muswellbrook on September 10. Fitted with the one trial and capable of improving sharply. LIL' BIT VAIG (6) better showing when held on late in the heavy (9) going to secure fourth over 1210m at Port Macquarie a week-and-a-half ago. Goes close on the backup. THE BLUE SWAN LAKE (9) fitter with racing and looks the best of the rest with the claim.
