GOING: G(4)

2EC - WAKE UP WITH KIMMY FOR BREAKFAST BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Zariz No Other to lead Flying Step at just a moderate tempo. GYPSY ROMANCE (5) backs up seven days after a tidy win over a similar trip at Orange. Raced here in a Class 2 in March off a quick turnaround and was beaten just 1.2 lengths - a strong form reference. TILLMAN (9) has been about the mark of late but the wins are hard to come by, just two in 38 runs. Placed 7/13 at the mile so on a five-day back-up he is worth an each-way investment. FLYING STEP (1) won two on the trot then had a 46-day let-up before finishing down the track at Canberra recently. Strips fitter and can improve. URJUWAAN (7) often struggles at this level but on his home track could sneak into the frame. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gypsy Romance to win again.
