MY COUNTRY BOY (2)<\/strong> just needs to find some early cover from wider out to go on with the job.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The son to So You Think prevailed narrowly over the same track and trip last start to finally win his maiden, and after copping some interference down the straight, you could argue he should have won by more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improving with each run and carrying 1kg less on Sunday, he looks hard to beat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

STAKEHOLDER (5)\u00a0<\/strong>is capable of producing\u00a0a bounce back effort for Tracey Bartley\u2019s team.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Capitalist four-year-old was sent around in a tougher race at Rosehill second-up, where he\u00a0landed up\u00a0on the speed and was entitled to weaken in the finish, settling for fifth in the\u00a0end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He won his maiden fresh over the\u00a01200m\u00a0trip at Kembla\u00a0Grange\u00a0the start prior and should\u00a0benefit\u00a0greatly from\u00a0two runs over that distance as he gets out to\u00a01350m\u00a0on Sunday.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
