SIGNVISION DUBBO BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 2200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.90)  

Lack of early pace and expect a moderate tempo at best. DEEMEE (5) who has found form quickly this preparation and comes off a narrow defeat at Scone over a similar trip. Only has to hold that sort of level to be in the finish. YAK (2) is racing well without winning. With the claim gets in nicely at the weights and ratings stand right up. Should be around the mark again. D'ORO CHOICE (1) has a big weight to lump but this is winnable all the same. FARRAIGE (10) is also good enough to get involved here and goes into the mix along with PATHELIA (8). SUGGESTED PLAY: Deemee to win.
