GOING: S(5)

TAYLOR BUILDING GROUP BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m 800-600; +4m Remainder. (Pent: 6.00)  

Reasonable tempo with Uluwatu probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. Another tough race early on in the program. CHANGE THE DEEL (8) flew home for a second-up win last time in at this track against Cl1 opposition and should be winding up when it counts again. Respect. ULUWATU (5) is back to a more suitable assignment today and can feature in the finish with even luck. MISS MOZAMBIQUE (11) showed enough resuming last start to suggest this is well within her grasp. CHARMED PASSAGE (6) finished second at this track against Cl3 opposition last start, and that form gives him every chance in this. LIGHTNING STRIKES (10) resumes. Broke his maiden status at this course first up last campaign. SUGGESTED PLAY: Change The Deel looks ready to win.
