GOING: H(8)

ELECTEL SERVICES COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.8).  

Expecting Champagne In Lace to find the lead. CHAMPAGNE IN LACE (7) led and won at Canberra first-up in a 50 and is further improved. At her best on wet tracks and has weight relief at this level. She has been kept on the fresh side and represents some value. HOLD (4) has plenty of ability and won a CL1 first-up on the same day. Collett is a key jockey booking and she has more to give. A decent winning chance. BENTLEY BROOK (2) won this grade here by a space and then placed at Canberra. He's up to this but has failed to place all four starts on slow-heavy. MISS JENNIFER (1) has switched to a leading local barn and is a betting watch first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Champagne In Lace each-way.
