HERITAGE BROTHERS FUNERAL SERVICES BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1200m Track: HEAVY 10 Rain (Max: 24) Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a strong gallop with Darkened Destiny and Gaelle taking up the running over Kurabenii. BRING ME TO LIFE (5) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten half a length at Ballina. Can play a major role. KAIWI (11) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Peter Sinclair barn. Strips fitter for a trial win and is in a nice race. Leading player expected to feature. LA QUINTA DONNA (6) ran a better race last start when she made late ground to finish a close third at Ballina. Best figures measure up. Anticipating a forward showing. I AM A HIT (1) lengthened nicely in the lane to finish in the frame at Beaudesert. Cherry-ripe now and can play a role in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Bring Me To Life to win.
