Verdict

Open race. COMB OVER CON (9) is still a maiden after twenty-three runs but caught the eye last start when he powered home for fifth over 1000m at this track. Gets through the wet going okay and is nicely in under this scale so he gets his chance. COUGARS (1) raced on the speed and placed twice in a row before giving away a lot of start and missing out over this distance at Wagga recently. All three of his placings have come on rain affected tracks so he should relish these conditions. YES ISLA YES (7) led and tried hard but couldn't hold off an odds-on favourite over this track and trip last time out. Fitter for two runs back and certainly looks good enough to take care of these. The speedy ROULLOTTIE (3) found one better in the run home over 1175m at Albury last start. Placed at her only try on a wet surface. Must be respected. WRONG FOOTED (2) was in the market but disappointed on debut here recently. Worth another chance over an extra furlong.

Most recently 5th of 14 at Wagga Super Mdn-Sw on January 26 over 1200m, 6 len behind Zoutastic carrying 57.5kg at $21. The start before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 7 at Nowra Ctry Mdn on January 12 over 1200m, on a wet track; head behind Winnie Fortune carrying 58kg at $2.50. Rock hard fit and looks a major player.

Most recently from last on the turn 5th of 10 at this track Ctry Mdn on February 2 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Southern Deel with 55kg at $11. The start before that got back early 3rd in a small field at Moruya Mdn-Sw on January 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind She Within with 59kg at $21. Has the right figures to test this field.

The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Nowra Ctry Mdn on January 12 over 1200m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Winnie Fortune with 53.5kg at $13. Hard to leave out after those sound recent efforts.

Third race start today. At debut, did the work up front then tired 6th of 8 at this track Mdn on December 29 over 1200m, 7 len behind Balmoral with 58kg at $15. Last start eased back early on 7th of 10 at Nowra Mdn-Sw on January 12 over 1000m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Can't Touch This carrying 57.5kg at $61. Looks out of his depth.
