GOING: G(4)

GUYRA FUELS / FOUR WAYS SERVICE CENTRE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1900m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Eastowin can race on speed, Nature Boy and Mammoth Mountain have some pace but unlikely to be strongly run. OH NO BRO (1) has struck top form with twpo wins on end and drops in class on winning at Quirindi over 2000m. Up in weight but down in class and has to be respected. MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN (2) disappointed last time but form prior was pretty solid. Worth another chance. DON QUIXOTE (3) can be a bit hit and miss but is also back in grade after running fourth in the same race as Oh No Bro. In the mix. EASTOWIN (8) and SUIT DAY (5) have claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oh No Bro to win. Save on Mammoth Mountain.

Capable of more – worth another chance.

Most recently 5th of 10 at Grafton Bm58 on October 22 over 2390m, 9 len behind Crash'n'bash with 55kg at $13. The start before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 8 at Kempsey Bm58 on October 8 over 1900m, slow going 13 len behind Oh No Bro with 54kg at $6.50. Better than recent form suggests and deserves another chance.
