GOING: H(10)

TOUKLEY GOLF CLUB CG&E BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo expected from Royal Bombadier, De Poet and Iobject. BODGIE (10) is racing in career-best form and looks hard to hold out again after attacking the line strongly when a solid third over 1100m at this track on April 11. Finds a similar set-up today and the good early tempo suits. PISANELLO (9) resumes. Sent north this prep after doing all his racing in Victoria last time in. Fitted with two trials and expected to be forward enough for this. IOBJECT (6) racing in career best form. Looks up to this after scoring a strong win over 1100m at Armidale on April 15. Claim helps again and not to be underestimated. ROYAL BOMBADIER (11) has returned a much stronger gelding this time in and should handle the conditions. Ran second over 900m at Wellington on April 12. Has genuine place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY:Box Quinella 10,9,6,11.

The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at this track Cond Bm68 on March 30 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Resistible with 57kg at $8.50. Among the winning hopes on best form.

Previously second-up won by 3 len at Taree Mdn-Sw September 24 over 1005m defeating The Young Years carrying 56.5kg at $1.30. Fitter but must improve sharply.
