GOING: S(6)

CAFE NOSH CG&E BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1262m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Toomuchinformation and Dark Justice leading the way. DARK JUSTICE (3) Justify gelding resuming. Defied the betting drift on debut when defeating inferior opposition as fav over 1300m at this track last December. Looks to have developed further over the break and ready to go with the two trials under his belt. TOOMUCHINFORMATION (1) tough old gelding retaining his zest for racing. Cruised across from the wide gate and sprinted quickly in the straight with a dominant 3.5 len win over 1250m here. Up sharply in weight but gets the inside gate. Will prove hard to run down again. OUR WARRIOR (6) hard fit for this and returned to form with a narrow third over 1400m at this track. Back in trip and should get the right tempo to figure prominently. TRUMPER (2) up quickly in trip after disappointing in his two runs back. Beaten for early speed and chipped away late to finish seventh over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Can lift here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,1,6,2.
