Sapphire Coast Race 1 - Bega Cup Carnival Jan 31 & Feb 1 Country Boosted Mdn Plate
THIS AIN'T TEXAS (8) struck trouble at the start and did enough on debut when fourth over 1100m at Nowra. Fitter now and well-drawn in this easier contest. VOLTAGE LASS (9) Too Darn Hot filly from a Hinchinbrook mare on debut for the Seib stable in Canberra. Given time to develop further after having the two trials last January. Leading jockey on from the inside gate. Go close. FALCON GOLD (2) showed good early dash on resumption when a narrow second in fast time over 1000m at Gundagai. A repeat effort will see him take catching. SMOLENSKI (3) is a two-start maiden who resumed with a respectable fourth over 1200m at Nowra. Back in trip and can take a hand in the finish. The chances don't end there.

First starter. Three-year-old filly by Brutal out of Dawn Almighty. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 900m at Queanbeyan November 11. Watch for any market confidence.

Filly by Too Darn Hot facing the starter for the first time. Trialled on January 20 at Hawkesbury over 1000m and finished seventh. Fitted with two trials earlier in the year and finds a very weak Maiden.
