GOING: S(5)

KIRK'S BRIDGE FARM BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 5.00)  

Despite the small field Wandjina Gal, Rosy Sue and Lucky Champion can set a strong tempo. MOREZMO (4) finished out of the money when sixth over 1000m at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago. Will enjoy a drop in class so she will be hard to beat. BLEUE'S CHOICE (1) tasted defeat last start when eighth over 1200m at Canberra. Likely contender with strong prospects. ROSY SUE (5) finished seventh last start over 1000m at Sapphire Coast after racing on the pace for much of the way. Must be included among the main hopes. PAPAVER MINER (3) did well last start but found a couple better over 1000m at Canberra, beaten only one length. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,1,5,3.
