GOING: G(4)

CHILL-RITE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 2200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder.  

Tavijewel should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. TOKYO QUEEN (4) peaked fourth-up with a dominant on-pace victory over 1800m at Bathurst with the claim. Sure to run well again as she stretches out further in trip. Go close. TAVIJEWEL (5) well placed for this and proven at the trip. Stuck on well with a close-up fourth over 2000m at Queanbeyan in BM66 grade. Will prove hard to stop with Neale's claim. CHARLOTTING (9) back sharply in trip with a courageous fourth over 1600m at this track. Key jockey change and capable of taking a hand in the finish. BLAZING GURU (1) rewarded for her consistency with a solid on-pace win over 2400m at Wellington. Claim helps with the big rise in weight and stays in the mix. SHYLOCK (7) tough old gelding who stays in the calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tokyo Queen and Tavijewel look the two leading chances.
