BOXING DAY RACES @ BALLINA BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1910m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m 1000m-250m Cutaway Applies, True Remainder .  

Pace genuine with Rahaan and Desert Mist pressing hard closely followed by Vermeer and I'mtimmyzou. DESERT MIST (4) went close at Grafton and is ready for the longer trip. He's in good hands and is well-placed with the 3kg claim. CONTRERAS (3) mixes the form but he has been racing in better company and draws to advantage. Gets his chance. I'MTIMMYZOU (1) led and won a 66 at Lismore by 5.3L over 2120m and forget the latest when he dropped back sharply to a sprint. He races forward and a bounce isn't out of the question. SPIELE (6) won three back and she's been within range since over a mile. Has an awkward barrier but keeps the handy 2kg claim. Has the ability and can show more third-up. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Desert Mist.
