GOING: H(10)

WYONG LEAGUES GROUP MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

The Escape and Boss to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. THE ESCAPE (3) promising Shalaa gelding who returns from a spell of seven months. Goes well fresh and lone win came on a heavy (10) track last prep. Expected to have strengthened further over the break and two recent trials were full of merit. Since gelded and expected to go close. ROCKIN' MILLIE (10) at her top now and indicated a win was imminent when a fast finishing second over 1000m at Gosford on April 25. Strips fitter and has the speed to take up a position from the sticky draw. NONSHALAANT (9) consistent gelding due for a change of luck. Charged late with the 59kg when third over 1010m at Orange on April 19. Has a good record this track and trip and drops sharply in weight with the claim. Don't dismiss. BOSS (6) returns from a lengthy break after racing in stronger company in town last prep. Gets weight relief with the claim and looked to have plenty up the sleeve when a recent trial winner here over 845m on April 23. Has each way prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,10,9,6.
