GOING: H(10)

G J GARDNER HOMES COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Howgoodisvegas looks the leader with Papaver Miner. Spritely Emily and Jacob Joe have some speed. DENI GAL (4) has the hoof right on the till with three seconds from her last four starts. Handles all ground and good form at the track. Hard to beat. SANTORINI SUN (1) won well here first-up beating Deni Gal then disappointed at Canberra when a big drifter in betting. Entitled to another chance. HOWGOODISVEGAS (2) is flying at the moment and comes here fresh after wins at Sapphire Coast and Moruya within a week. Sure to give a good sight. LADY REVOLUTION (5) and PAPAVER MINER (8) are worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deni Gal to win.

Third-up and won third-up in the past. Resuming was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.3 len at this track Bm58 March 31 over 1100m in soft going defeating Deni Gal with 59kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell eased back early on 6th of 10 at Canberra Bm60 on April 19 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Not That Easy carrying 60kg at $16. Shade disappointing last time but can bounce back.
