METROLL BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1110m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +2.5m 950m-300m; +1.5m 300m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Top Bird should set a strong tempo. WATCHGUARD (7) nice return with the 58kg when a sound fourth over 1000m at Casino on October 26. Undefeated this track and trip and looks hard to hold out here. O'MISS BEHAVING (1) drops sharply in grade and trip for this. Kept fresh after tiring late when sixth over 1600m at the Sunshine Coast eight weeks ago. Has won this trip and the 3kg claim is a bonus. Don't underestimate. TOP BIRD (2) placed this course and distance after two mixed runs back. Since fitted with a strong trial win and has each way prospects. LASER BEAM (5) put the writing on the wall last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,1,2,5.
