Muswellbrook Race 2 - Keldan Commercial Country Boosted Mdn Plate
BALLY ISLE (4) showed potential in two career starts and resumes in a winnable race. Gritty performance from the wide gate when a tough on pace fifth over 1000m at Gunnedah. Back without a trial and will prove hard to stop from the low draw. CLAN D'ORO (6) comes here in peak condition and will find this easier after failing to get through the heavy going when a tiring seventh over 1200m at Tamworth. Well drawn and maps to get the right run again. SHACKAMAXON (11) poorly drawn on resumption for the new stable when a plugging sixth over 1130m at Grafton. Finally has a decent barrier and capable of better. DENDINA (7) resumes. Made her debut 21 months ago at Narromine when a fighting on pace third over 800m. Latest trail had merit and the cross-over nose band comes off. LAST LALIQUE (8) in leading Scone stable and can play a leading role on debut.

At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at Tamworth Mdn on May 20 over 1200m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Zelestial carrying 55kg at $20. The start before that settled back and ran on when 6th of 10 at Quirindi Ctry Mdn-Sw on May 12 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Reluctant Diva carrying 57kg at $8. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Three-year-old filly (Star Witness - Last Dollars) will no doubt benefit from the four trials prior to her debut today. Was second in a Gunnedah barrier trial over 900m May 14. In good country stable and worth thought.
