Temora Race 10

Ladbrokes Odds Surge

Stake: $2,541

OUR COUNTRY BOY (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 320m at Wagga (18.74) in a Grade 5, the second top-three finish on the trot. Look for sharp improvement here. CHEERFUL COW (8) goes very well this trip starting seven times for three wins and two minors. Missed the frame latest (20.49) when fifth over 350m at Goulburn in a Grade 5. Looks one of the chances. LUCY VALENTINE (3) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fourth (19.48) at this track over 330m. Form here sound including two wins. Was a winner at her only start from this draw. Key runner on best form. MARS BALE (2) is likely to have admirers.

Showing promise but missed the frame last start when fifth at Goulburn. Form solid prior to that including a win at Goulburn three back. Suited here and expected to bounce back.
