GOING: S(7)

AUSTRALIAN LIQUOR MARKETERS BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Genuine tempo from Centenario leading Semper Fortis. PARADE GROUND (6) steps up in grade off a strong maiden win and gets a soft draw. No weight relief the only knock. CENTENARIO (2) resumes for a new stable after promising early form in NZ. Expected to roll forward and give a strong showing after two recent trials. MOVADER (4) gets conditions to suit again but has been a beaten favourite at her past two starts. Drawn wide but hard to go past. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quinella 6 with 2,4.
