GOING: S(5)

SHAY BRENNAN CONSTRUCTIONS BENCHMARK 74 HANDICAP 1000m Track: SOFT5 Clouds (Max: 16) Rail: True Entire.
Koondeeman, Bomarea and I'm Not Slew to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. BOMAREA (6) resuming in easier company after racing well in town last prep. Taken to the front and nailed late when a narrow third over 1000m at Randwick in Highway grade on March 2. Undefeated first-up and since fitted with a recent 1000m trial at Beaumont Newcastle. Gets in light with the claim and will take catching. GOLD LOVER (7) races well on her home track and returned to form with a plugging second over 1000m at Dubbo on June 7. Gets map favours and can figure prominently. I'M NOT SLEW (5) consistent mare who was sent straight to the front and never headed when a 1.2 len winner over 1000m at Scone on June 23. Can win again despite rising in grade. SHAMATON (2) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months and will appreciate this easier assignment. Failed to run on when sixth to Millane over 1200m at Eagle Farm in BM78 company on February 17. Fitted with one trial and the 3kg claim is a bonus. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bomarea to win.
