Tractor-Riding Jockey The One To Follow At Ballina (Friday)

Northern Rivers training heavyweight Matthew Dunn and prolific regional premiership jockey Matty McGuren is the combination to follow at Ballina’s capacity eight-race TAB meeting on Friday.

Matty McGuren [pictured left] typically has a near full book and four rides for Dunn, including impressive last start Doomben maiden winner Shaquila ($3 favourite on TAB) back in grade to the regionals.

The three-year-old Shalaa (Ire) gelding and four-year-old mare Palawa Kani ($4.40) who won her third race at Ballina recently, appear to be McGuren’s best.

“I look to have nice chances all day, but they’re in-form progressive types in their right races,” offered McGuren, taking time out from riding his farm tractor.

“I see Shaquila is also ‘nominated’ for a strong race at the Gold Coast Saturday.

"I saw it’s Doomben win, closed really nicely.

“Sticky gate (12) but it raced on-pace at Doomben so if it starts here we’ll roll forward again. It contested some strong city two-year-old races first prep.”

On Friday Shaquila has 61.5kg in a Financial Guidance BM 58, 1310m.

Palawa Kani from the Bowen stables at Lismore contests a XXXX Gold Country Boosted Class 3, 1010m.

“This mare drops near four kilos from a Class 3 off a really strong benchmark 58 win here; three race winner, soft draw so perfectly placed.”

In respective races, Dunn and McGuren combine with Centre Bounce ($2.40 fav), Desert Mist ($5) and Dorset Coast ($23) and the Murwillumbah-based Dunn is invariably hard to beat educating newcomers in proximity at Ballina.

Ballina Jockey Club races on a Good 4 track with the chance of a shower during the day.
