GOING: G(4)

WESTERN PLAINS AUTOMOTIVE BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

In the absence of noted leaders, Sports Page and Marnoo may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. SPORTS PAGE (5) improved last time when winning this grade/distance at Wellington comfortably. Keeps the 2kg claim and maps well. She's left the one they have to beat. MARNOO (6) lifted strongly to score two runs back then stalked the speed at Wellington, beaten 1.6L behind the above. He's sure to give big sight and may prove the threat again. ROUGE MOULIN (1) has been within range in better class. The 3kg claim helps offset some of the steep weight rise, and this is winnable for him. LAISVAS (8) improved sharply to score by a nose over 1600m at Narromine six days ago. Stays down in the weights and goes in on an each-away basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Sports Page.
