GOING: N

Thai Imperial Benchmark 60 Handicap 1009m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Champagne Cinders leading the way. BARMAID GIRL (4) resumes and this is winnable if she's presented forward. She's trialled well and Newitt is a key jockey booking. Has a handy gate and goes well here. Finds the right race. ZIPITUP (2) brought strong form from Victoria and was narrowly beaten at Launceston. Races forward and has won on an all-weather track. Deserves another win and gets his chance. SHIM (7) has the ability and was quickly back on track at Launceston. Drops back to a shorter sprint but has a low barrier and keeps the handy 3kg claim. RING OF HONOUR (1) resumes and goes fresh and enjoys the track. Finally draws a low gate and keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Barmaid Girl.
