GOING: G(4)

BECOME A MEMBER TODAY BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Time Ruler and Geostorm can set a genuine tempo. I'M SCARLETT (5) made ground beaten 1L at Cowra in a CL3. Maps well and just has to hold the form to take beating. TIME RULER (2) stepped up to this trip at Tamworth and spiked his figures leading all the way in this grade. Carries more weight but is good enough to repeat the dose. GEOSTORM (4) led and won here at this level and then found a 66 too rich at Orange. He has a handy 2kg claim today and is sure to give a sight. VAQUERO (9) has been busting to win. He will push forward and coming back 200m is likely to suit. MAGNACE (1) resumes with a 4kg claimer aboard. He has won fresh and keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: With I'm Scarlett.
