GOING: S(5)

COURTHOUSE HOTEL JARDEL CUP - F&M BENCHMARK 66 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Hellcibell. FIGMENT (3) progressive Not A Single Doubt filly chasing her third straight victory. Stalked the speed when a comfortable 0.6 len winner over 1200m at Moree on April 2. Claim suits again and looks up to the rise in grade. NOT IN DOUBT (4) has the two wins from four starts and looks to have a future. Up in grade when a dominant 0.8 len winner over 1200m at Tamworth in C2 grade on April 8. Rises in weight here but gets map favours again. HELLCIBELL (1) smart Hellbent mare who returns from a five-week let-up. Made it three wins from five starts when a gritty winner over 1100m at Scone on March 22. Since placed in a recent 1000m trial at Scone on April 17. RUBI AIR (5) mixing her form of late and kept fresh for this. Senior rider on today after tiring when tenth over 1400m at Mudgee Ctry on March 31. Drop in trip suits. Perhaps a place. SUGGESTED PLAY: Figment to win.
