AU - Bairnsdale - Race 1

TOP LINER (10) was a touch weak in her initial campaign, and will be a lot stronger this season. She resumes with a couple of solid jump-outs under her belt, and will be racing over a mile fresh up, which suggests that she has done plenty of work at home leading into this. Follow any market confidence closely. SHEISTHEBOSS (7) went down fighting as the favourite when finishing runner-up second up from a spell at Bendigo just over 3 weeks ago. She is peaking at the right time, and in an easier assignment, she can go one better. Follow your money. KING LEONIDAS (11) makes his debut from the in form Browne stable, and though his jump-out form is only plain, this field is well within his reach. Keep him safe in all top 4 combos. COWBOYKICKEDFIVE (1) has been placed in 2 of his 3 starts this prep since joining the Reece Goodwin stable. He is rock-hard fit with a 7-day backup, and another honest run is expected. ALLYOUWANADOISROCK (4) has the pole position, and is another top 4 hope.
