BODALLA BOWLING CLUB BODALLA TOWN PLATE BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1020m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-380m Cutaway Applies.  

Genuine tempo with Lord Remy leading the way. Just about all of these have genuine claims. MOOSHAKA (5) travelled up on the speed and looked a chance in the straight but was edged out in a blanket finish over this course and distance last start. Boasts a 56% top-three strike rate from 25 starts at this trip. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and is sure to be competitive as always. ZAZEL (8) made it two from two this prep when she stormed home to beat some of today's key rivals here at this distance recently. Keeps improving and from a better gate today she is a huge chance to chalk up the hat-trick. HEART OF VANCOUVER (7) was beaten a whisker by Zazel on the Canberra Acton a month ago. Meets her 3.5kgs better so he is capable of turning the tables. FELIX PEREON (4) is flying this prep. Loves Moruya and can easily take this out despite a seven-week break between runs. MISSILE LEADER (10) is a solid fresh performer back from a 110-day spell. Must be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mooshaka each-way in a very competitive sprint.
