MOLLYMOOK COOLROOMS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 930m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-380m Cutaway Applies.  

Strong early tempo with Bambi Belle and Bleue's Choice leading the way. The consistent BAMBI BELLE (7) followed an easy maiden win at the Sapphire Coast two back with a very close fourth over 1010m here last time, leading until the dying stages. Probably takes a sit outside Bleue's Choice who has drawn inside. Will give a great sight over this slightly shorter journey. SELHURST PARK (2) is down in class on recent runs and importantly steps back in trip - his two wins have both come at 900m. Not badly in after the claim and draws a good gate so he is sure to improve on recent efforts. NOBLE SERENADE (5) did nothing here first-up but can turn things around from a better barrier and the senior rider going on. SKAIFEE (8) turned in a real eye-catcher here last time out and his form at this trip reads well. RIVER FROST (1) has been in the placings at two of three first-up runs so keep him in mind fresh from a 23-week break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bambi Belle on top.
