CALOUNDRA RSL QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.43)  

Moderate pace only with Italian Riviera leading Family Of League. It's hard to fault the form of ITALIAN RIVIERA (1) who has won three of four starts to date including one around this circuit last time out. Gets 3kg off with the claim and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Ticks plenty of boxes. PROMINENT LAD (2) has just missed the placings in town at the past couple of efforts and should find this assignment easier. Looms as the main danger. PROPOSE (3) has placed over this mile journey and is another to get some weight relief. Top-three candidate. BANKSIA BEACH (4) is one from one over this trip and is a must for the multiples. BOLD BLAZE (7) shed the maiden tag at the latest outing and is sure to have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Italian Riviera to continue the rich vein of form.
