Queanbeyan Race 4 - Tab Race Boosts Mdn Plate
SILK LACE (8) resumes, and two back ran into a place here on debut. Settled rearward in tougher Hawkesbury following and wasn't disgraced. Owns a 1L Kembla Grange trial win and is going to come back sharper. The 2kg claim is handy, but he will need a good ride from an outside barrier. Rates tough to beat if that works out. SWEET ROSE (9) raced on a heavy track at Nowra on debut, beaten 0.9 lengths at the end of 1000m. Was well supported, and she will be tough to roll around here with the extra fitness. FARNANHEIT (2) has switched from a top Victorian stable on a 60-day return. MELODIA PERFECTA (4) has disappointed twice as the favourite this preparation and showed plenty of promise in his previous campaign. The gate is tricky, but Boudvillain is engaged, and his best form would see him right in it. REDS EXPRESS (7) resumes, and the ex-Victorian has her first full preparation for the Clarke yard. Wasn't beaten far here when last seen, and his VIC provincial form certainly stacks up.

Dual acceptor. Resuming after a four months break. Not seen since he finished last of 8 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw December 18 over 1000m, 8 len behind Penrose carrying 59kg at $51. On debut second last of 11 at Gundagai Ctry Mdn November 15 over 1000m, 10 len behind Wonderful Mistake with 59kg at $81. Will be better for the run.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran last in a small field at Nowra Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1000m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Dancer's Delight with 55kg at $101. Previously second-up ran last of 8 at this track Ctry Mdn on October 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Pink Lamborghini carrying 53kg at $101. Hard to make a case this line-up.

Was well-supported at debut, 3rd in a small field at Nowra Mdn-Sw on April 5 over 1000m, on a wet track; 0.9 len behind Dancer's Delight with 56.5kg at $3.80. Plenty of improvement to come and is among the leading contenders.
