Ballina Race 1 - Nbn News Country Boosted Mdn Plate
PRESTIGE GUNDY (5) ran a much better race at his second outing when he gripped on to run second over 1006m at Grafton. Going better than most of these and will have little trouble running the 1250m out. BUCKET LIST (3) resumes after having mixed luck in his first prep. Battled on in the heavy conditions when second over 1205m at Coffs Harbour. Back without a trial and Luke Rolls sticks. PRESSIPITATING (8) best performance in eleven starts when sat on the speed from the better draw to secure second over 1000m at Casino. This looks tougher but not to be underestimated. STRATTON (6) finding it hard to breakthrough and looks the pick of the rest.
