GOING: S(7)

SPANLINE ORANGE & BATHURST BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 3.5m 500m-300m; Cutaway Applies.  

Fast pace assured with Cumboogle leading the charge. CUMBOOGLE (1) led all the way to score by a length over this distance at Warren two runs back. Couldn't find the front last time and offered little at Dubbo. Down in grade and will be hard to beat if he can dictate. ULTRA WHITE (5) caught the eye when second-up from a break recently over 1100m at Wellington, making up a stack of ground to grab third. Has won third-up in the past and a hot tempo here will suit her racing pattern. HERMOSA ROSA (4) has raced twice this prep and been just out of the placings both times on the Canberra Acton. Races well here and will be tough to beat with the aid of the inside gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cumboogle to bounce back and win.

Dual acceptor. Last start raced on the pace before fading 7th of 12 at Dubbo Ctry Bm58 on August 21 over 1000m, slow going 5 len behind Gypsy Power carrying 57kg at $9. The run before that won by 1.0 len at Warren Cl1 July 23 over 1000m in soft going defeating Barry The Poet carrying 55kg at $7.50. Can make amends in this easier race.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 10th of 12 at Dubbo Ctry Bm58 on August 21 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Minnewater with 55kg at $11. Second run from a spell came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 11 at Wellington Bm58 on September 2 over 1100m, slow going 2.25 len behind That's Better carrying 55kg at $19. Strips fitter and is a strong top-three hope.

Dual acceptor. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start 8th of 12 at Gilgandra Bm50 on August 3 over 1100m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Alenia with 59kg at $21.

Low on confidence and hard to recommend.
