MEMBERS & MATES GCTC JUNE 29 BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1050m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo assured with likes of Platinum Lies and Serigala locking horns. RUSTIC BOOM (2) showed a good turn of foot in back-to-back wins on the Sunshine Coast Poly Track over 1100m then loomed to win but just missed a place over 1200m last start at the Sunshine Coast. Back to 1050m on the Poly track here suits and he's drawn to get an ideal run and then let down strongly. Looks hard to beat. GREYZOUS (12) has trialled sharply and can be expected to turn in a bold run first-up after showing promise last campaign. PLATINUM LIES (11) has won two of her past three starts, both on this track, and has the speed to use the inside draw and prove hard to run down. FLAG HALL (1) failed last start but will race in blinkers for the first time here and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back strongly. The resuming GHOST HUNTER (4) is worth consideration after a strong campaign last preparation. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rustic Boom on top.
