Ballina Race 8 - Tab Country Boosted Hcp (C2)
DISCREET POINT (1) has the right profile to take beating after finishing fourth in a BM68 at Eagle Farm, beaten just over a length, following a second at this track in a BM66. The return to 1005m suits his established distance record, and the easier company from that mid-week assignment gives him a clear chance to convert. KIRRA'S SISTER (3) is the obvious danger on consistency, having gone down by a neck at this venue after another close placing in a CL3 at Grafton, with the 3kg claim adding to her appeal. IMMORTAL STORM (2) resumes after ending last campaign with two thirds, including a neck defeat at this track, and his overall record keeps him right in calculations if he is forward enough. ZOSMA (4) brings winning form after scoring narrowly at Port Macquarie and has a solid career profile, though he still has to prove that result away from soft-ground CL1 grade. Can repeat the dose. DAZZLING PEACE (5) can feature with a couple of nice trials under his belt.

Eased from a mid-week BM68 at Eagle Farm after finishing fourth to Keep It Real, beaten just over a length as favourite over 1200m on soft ground. His previous second at this track in a BM66 reads well, and he beat Kirra's Sister in that meeting about a month ago. Proven at 1005m and looks the one to beat.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a third at this track on heavy ground, beaten a neck by Yoweri after being bumped at the start and racing keenly. He had also run third at Grafton when beaten a length and a half. Excellent overall record and strong 1005m profile make him a key chance.

Went very close in a BM58 at this track last start, leading and only being run down late when beaten a neck by Amaya's Secret, with the lost rein or whip near the 100m adding context. She had earlier placed in a Class 3 at Grafton, beaten half a length. Claim, draw and recent consistency make her a major player.

Resumed with a narrow Class 1 win at Port Macquarie, scoring by a nose from Putinacall despite being steadied and checked in the run. That came after a poor closing run last campaign at Coffs Harbour, where he was beaten over 14 lengths after a slow start and covering ground. Has claims again, though this asks for another step forward.

Returns from a ten-month break after a plain second last in a Class 1 at Murwillumbah, beaten just under seven lengths with no obvious excuse. His previous run there was far better, finishing second and beaten just over half a length. Best 1005m form gives him place claims.

Had excuses when sixth in a BM58 at Casino last start, being bumped at the start and again in the straight before finishing five and a half lengths from Copenhagen Cat. Two back she was fifth in a Class 1 at Grafton, beaten just under two lengths after racing wide throughout. Third-up and lighter, she can improve into a minor chance.

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing third in a picnic Open at Tabulam, beaten a length and a half as the well-supported favourite while racing keenly and laying out on the home turn. He was safely held in a BM58 at Grafton two back. Stronger setting and a poor 1005m record point more to place claims.

Worked home into fourth in a BM50 at Coffs Harbour last start, but was still beaten five and a half lengths by She's A Wild One after losing his position before the turn. Two back at Grafton he was unwanted in betting and beaten just under seven lengths in a BM58. Not here.

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing last as favourite at Tabulam, beaten just under eight lengths by Claudio in picnic company. His Talwood third two back in a BM50 was sounder without being strong, and he has only one win from 33 starts overall. Has won this track and trip, but recent form is the concern.

Returns from a ten-month break after finishing sixth at Walcha, beaten just over four lengths by Daulton when racing wide throughout. His previous ninth at Tuncurry on heavy ground was also plain after jumping awkwardly and being steadied. Has to lift sharply.
