GOING: G(4)

HALL & WILCOX LAW 3&4YO BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m 800m-400m; True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo from Etched In Time leading Draco's Fire. DRACO'S FIRE (3) produced a lively effort first up behind an in-form galloper. Still learning his trade and was placed at a mile last campaign. Lots to like. RUSH ATTACK (4) is rock hard fit and has only found one better in each of his past two outings. Snags the ideal draw and can add more coin to an already consistent record. MANHATTAN'S (5) has found her best form this time in and was far from disgraced in a solid city race last start. On trial at the mile but with a low draw should get every chance. ETCHED IN TIME (1) defied a betting drift to win first up but does jump up in weight. Has won at the mile previously and hard to knock winning form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Draco's Fire win.

The race before that came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a long-neck at Scone Bm82 August 19 over 1300m in heavy going defeating Wiggles carrying 55kg at $3. Capable of much better and cannot be underestimated.
