GOING: N

CELLAR MAINTENANCE AUSTRALIA BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 2000m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Aces Up should be able to comfortably find the front. ENTERPRISE LASSIE (6) has been racing well this preparation with three second placings from four starts. Only narrowly beaten last start when 2nd in 1800m Class 3 at Sunshine Coast. Likes this track and has drawn well to get every chance to run out the 2000m. COME ON EILEEN (8) was 5th in 2000m Bm58 at Toowoomba last start. Each-way chance if she strikes her best form. FAST LADY (7) is in winning form with victories at Gatton and Toowoomba in her past two starts and she is worth including again. TAVISTORM (2) worked home for 5th in Sunshine Coast 1800m Class 3 last start and can run well from a good draw with Michael Rodd aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Enterprise Lassie on top.
