Inverell Race 4 - Maria River Cattle Mdn Hcp
HARDHEAD (6) quickly got out to 1450m but almost pulled off a boil-over at Quirindi last time out. Not the most reliable conveyance but in this company another run like the last will be good enough. JU TWO (2) has raced twice since a good spell and been about the mark both times, most recently just six days ago here at this trip. Fitter and can win without surprising. MAD HARRY (8) is a twenty-three-start maiden which sounds alarm bells but has placed four from seven on wet tracks so keep that in mind on the soft track. VENCE (3) is first-up after a break of seven months and has transferred to the Stirling Osland stable. Lightly raced gelding who has showed glimpses of ability and is worth monitoring for market confidence. REAL HOUSEWIVES (10) found the line well and wasn't beaten far when resuming over 1200m at Tamworth last start. Yet to fill a placing in her career but that latest effort was encouraging.

Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 13 at Quirindi Mdn-Sw on May 12 over 1450m, on a slow track; head behind Snitzenegger carrying 57.5kg at $51. The start before that ran last of 9 at Gunnedah Mdn-Sw on May 5 over 1000m, slow going 13 len behind Crusader Razor with 59kg at $81. Heading the right way now and looks tough to beat.

Second-up. First-up after three months 4th of 8 at Tamworth Mdn on May 20 over 1200m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind Zelestial carrying 53.5kg at $20. Previously second-up 6th of 12 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn-Sw on November 29 over 1280m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Bondi Prophet with 54kg at $17. That run was a bit plain but she can do better.
