Murwillumbah Race 2 - Racing Mates Country Boosted Mdn Plate
SHORTCUT (8) found the line strongly to be beaten under a length in an impressive debut over 1110m at Doomben last start. Perfectly placed over this slightly longer trip in a weaker maiden. Hard to go past. LUCKY NEKO (6) returned from a five-month spell at Grafton on Friday and did a fair effort to finish fifth in testing conditions over the 1130m course. Unlikely to back up so quickly but must be respected if that is the option Matthew Dun takes. INSTA WORTHY (7) only warmed up when the race was all over at his first run back from a spell over 1100m at Ipswich twelve days ago. Sure to prove tough to hold out with that run under the belt over a longer trip. HE'S POPLAR (3) did his best work late for a midfield finish over 1115m at Grafton recently. That was his first appearance in 160 days so there is plenty of scope for improvement. BOBBY IS KING (1) returned in good order in a 1000m dash at Casino last time. In the mix in this more suitable contest.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign 11th of 13 at Grafton Super Mdn January 27 over 1400m, soft track; 13 len behind Rock The Sunrise carrying 57.5kg at $151. On debut second last of 10 at Coffs Harbour Mdn-Sw December 30 over 1205m, 5.5 len behind Red Spector carrying 57.5kg at $81. Doesn't bring the right form to the table.

Resumed after a break of five months with a moderate fifth over 1130m on a heavy track at Grafton on Friday. Should improve off that run and is a big chance if they opt for the quick back-up.

Third race start. First start ran last in a small field at Doomben in the LR Phelan Ready on November 30 over 1110m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Hi Barbie with 57kg at $9.50. Went for a spell before returning eased back early on 5th of 10 at Ipswich 2yo Mdn-Sw on April 30 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Don't Tellyafather carrying 58kg at $3.60. Rates highly and looks a strong winning hope.
