Kembla Grange Race 1

Dapto Citizens Bowling Club Provincial Mdn Hcp

Stake: $49,950

MISSIE LEE (3) returned in good order with a strong second at Hawkesbury over this journey and should only improve with that hit-out under her belt. Hard to hold out. EX WIFE (1) resumes after more than a year off but has trialled three times to be ready. Showed promising signs on debut when a Wyong placegetter. Could need the run but must be taken seriously. CHEEKY SORT (5) debuts off an impressive trial win at Kembla Grange. Drawn to get all the favours and can make an immediate impact. STAR VENTURE (8) finds it tough to get off the mark but returns and looks to have come back in good order, fitter for two solid hit-outs and gets Clark piloting from a favourable draw. Is certainly one to consider. NOBLE RUBY (7) is also another consistent type returning and has the speed to take up a handy spot. Capable of running a big race fresh.

Mare back from a spell of four months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last campaign fourth in a small field at Gosford 3yo Mdn May 29 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 1.5 len behind Now You've Done It carrying 56kg at $3. When resuming last campaign third of 8 at this track Mdn-Sw March 4 over 1000m, soft track; a long neck behind Show Business with 56.5kg at $14. Capable of a bright return.
