GOING: N

BEAUDESERT CUP AUGUST 16 BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1540m

Track: AW     Rail: True.  

Gus The Bus and Archers Reign can pave the way. CAPITAL BOSS (3) has struggled in his last two on the grass but flies this venue and finally draws an inside gate. Keeps the in-form Williams, and he can break back in this line-up. ARCHERS REIGN (2) spiked his figures, winning a 58 comfortable here on the turf 7 days ago. It was a big effort after settling rearward early, and he also races well here. HOTZINO (6) deserved the 58 win at Grafton and did it well. That rates well enough, and she also has claims. TAKUNAI (4) has been racing in better company, and his record at the track reads well. A chance at best. SILVER WARRIOR (1) is struggling this preparation, but could add value to betting. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Capital Boss.
