Ballina Race 1 - Tab Country Boosted Mdn Plate
Headwater filly PRESTIGE AUSTRIA (8) debuts for the local Lee stable. Won a trial at Grafton on 16 May after a quiet one here a month earlier. Draws the fence and looks a big chance in a race where the exposed form is pretty dismal. Stablemate SNEAKY BID (4) raced handy and battled on okay to finish a distant fourth when lining up for the first time over this trip at Grafton nine weeks ago. Not seen since but with some natural improvement he should be competitive. Another Lee runner in LAND SPEED (3) last raced almost a year ago when beaten a long way into fourth over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Can finish a lot closer in this far easier contest if forward enough. HERE'S BEAU (2) is a first starter from the John Shelton barn. Placed in a recent Grafton trial and looks good enough to make his presence felt. WASHIK (7) next best but it is hard to see her winning.

Second-up. First start ran last in a small field at Kempsey Mdn-Sw on December 15 over 1000m, slow going 36 len behind Zouking with 57.5kg at $15. Went for a break before returning second last in a small field at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw on May 18 over 1006m, on rain affected going; 13 len behind River Biscotte carrying 59kg at $19. Fitter but not sure he is capable of winning.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation tenth of 13 at Casino Mdn-Sw May 3 2025 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Beauty Eight with 55kg at $91. On debut second last of 12 at this track Mdn-Sw February 14 2025 over 1000m, soft track; 12 len behind Deep Stealth carrying 56.5kg at $151. Prefer to see how she returns.

Dual acceptor. Last start second last of 9 at Grafton Mdn on May 16 over 1420m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Super Johnny Joya carrying 55kg at $21. The run before that ran last of 8 at Grafton Mdn-Sw on April 7 over 1708m, 18 len behind Divine Effort carrying 54kg at $61. Best figures look okay so she cannot be written off.

Stephen & Jordan Lee trained two-year-old filly on debut. Won a recent Grafton trial. Good draw will assist chances. Trained here and in a lowly maiden she gets her chance to break through immediately.
