GOING: H(8)

KILCOY GLOBAL FOODS BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.97)  

Super Duck to take charge ahead of Aerial Dancer at a solid tempo. WINSOME STAR (14) let supporters down last time out but go on the dominant win over this course and distance two back. Gets the Melbourne Cup winning combination of Symons/Laxon/Dolan and a bounce back to form would not surprise. DEEP RESPECT (2) is a three-time winner over this seven-furlong journey and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Drawn favourably and should be right there at the business end. CHERRY ROSE (11) has a handy strike rate winning six of 12 starts to date and only went down by the narrowest of margins at the latest effort. Top-three contender. HARBOURMASTER (4) resumes here but has two wins and a second from five first-up attempts and can run a bold race while fresh. TERRESTAR (9) brings NSW formlines to the table and any market confidence must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 14,2,11,4.
