HERB BLANCHARD HAULAGE GRAFTON GUINEAS PRELUDE 3YO BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1420m Track: Soft 5 Rain (Max: 21) Rail: +5m Entire.
Moderate tempo expected with Insinuate likely to find the front over Ronny Bee and Rainbow Lass. BEER BARON (1) first run in this region he chipped away late when sixth over 1215m at Coffs Harbour. Fitter now and he gets a much better set up from the barrier. INSINUATE (4) has come back a stronger filly this time in and gets a sharp drop in weight today with Newman's claim. Gave her all to the line when knabbed late to finish third over 1550m at Murwillumbah. In leading yard and better placed for this. MONARCH EXPRESS (7) raced closer to the speed when finished off strongly for a sound fourth over 1100m me at Scone. Ready for this trip third up. COSMIC COCO (3) first run for the Samantha McGuren yard after coming up from Victoria. Lone win came at this trip and must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Beer Baron.
