GOING: G(4)

SEA WORLD BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 3m 800m-W/Post; True Remainder. (Pent: 4.4).  

Hulkamania has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LOST ILLUSIONS (8) deserved his Maiden win over this trip and then disappointed on a heavy track at Taree. Arrives here 22 days later with Cahill aboard replacing the apprentice. Will race handy and should prove hard to run down. HIGHLAND HILL (4) came back in grade and delivered over this distance at the Sunshine Coast. Peaks and has a handy 3kg claim. Maps to advantage and is among the top chances again. HULKAMANIA (2) has been busting to win this distance range on the poly track. He will be in the finish bringing that form to the turf. EASTOWN (11) keeps improving and can't be ruled out at an each-way quote. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Lost Illusions.
