GOING: G(3)

Sportsmans Hotel Bingara Mdn 1600m

Track: GOOD 3   Thundershowers Early   Rail: True.  

Not a lot of speed on paper so Infantry could find the front with Dylan's Star prominent. BIG BEN THE CLOCK has improved in each of three career runs and should be able to progress again today. Nice effort to finish runner up at Scone last time and the step up to the mile should suit. Not many chances here. BIG BEN THE CLOCK looks like he wants the added journey. He raced a lot closer last start and ran his best race. He should run this on breeding. INFANTRY just keeps finding the placings. He has placed twice over the trip. They've taken the blinkers off too. FAVOURITE SISTER got beaten a nose last start. She will get back and run on. DUPORCHE can run the odd good race. This does look a better distance for her. There are some strugglers here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Big Ben The Clock looks ready to win up to the mile - back him straight out.
