GOING: G(4)

FRASERS LIVESTOCK TRANSPORT BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.41).  

Sizzling pace from the outset from Vancouver Queen and Lynric Lass locking horns ahead of The Hairdresser. THE HAIRDRESSER (12) is lightly raced and promising. Made it 2/3 winning the 55 before a plainer effort in an Open 34. She will have taken further fitness and learning and despite the awkward barrier can bounce back for the potent Stanley-Tayler linkage. TOUCH OF GRACIE (4) went close at Eagle Farm before winning the CL2 at Toowoomba heavily bet. Maps for a soft run and despite the weight hike is feared. DESERT MOON (2) went close here before delivering an easy win at Emerald in a 65 in a small field. Has been kept on the fresh side and is in the mix. SPRING VALLEY (3) was cruelled by a wide gate at Mackay last time and best to go on the handy effort there prior. Gives away starts but should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to The Hairdresser.
