Kembla Grange Race 5 - Absolute Towing Midway Mdn Hcp
WILD THOUGHTS (1) lucked into a very strong maiden on debut at this track and has had a genuine spell. Recent trial winner who can progress quickly this time in starting now. WESTERN LANE (2) accepts here after a few scratchings of late at other meetings. Close up in both runs to date and gets a few gear changes. Drawn to get every possible chance. RAINBOW GODDESS (3) did everything but win last start and is within sight of an overdue maiden win. Finds a tricky draw but solid record at this trip sharpens her appeal third up. BORDER TOWN (9) stuck on bravely first up in a much keener showing. Slight query at the added trip but with almost six kilos less can easily find him. SMART CRY (5) could be a keep safe option on debut after sniffing around in two recent trials. Look for her late.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran last of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 3 over 1000m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Just Like Tilda carrying 57kg at $11. Previously second-up 5th of 14 at Newcastle Prov 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on January 21 over 1300m, 2 len behind Hoo Haa with 57kg at $7. Can't recommend until she offers something more.
