GOING: G(4)

CELEBRATING HORSES' BIRTHDAY BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1110m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 4.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.91).  

Lennic and Introducing to battle for the early lead at a slick tempo. MISS MIDDLE PARK (15) recovered from a slow start to finish third when resuming against the mares over this course and distance three weeks ago. Handy type who will take a lot from that run and looks tough to beat in a very open race. RALPHIE (3) came from last at one stage to finish midfield over 1200m at the Sunshine Coast last time out. Fitter for two runs back from a spell. Drawn to play a major role in the outcome. BRERETON (5) met with good support and got the cash when resuming for new trainer Tony Gollan over this course and distance recently. Ran slightly quicker time than Miss Middle Park on the same card. Capable of going on with the job. NANAGUI (10) failed first-up over 1200m but is 2/2 at this trip. Can bounce back. Last start Toowoomba winner MATILLY (12) has an outstanding strike rate and must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Middle Park each-way in a tough one.
