GOING: S(7)

BUILDCERT BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Bosco, A Book Of Days and All Adore to take up the running at a decent tempo. ALL ADORE (5) progressive filly with a good record over this track and trip. Returned from a let-up with a plugging third over 1000m at this track. Fitter now and can stalk the good tempo and finish over the top of them. CHRISTMAS STAR (7) given the gun run along the inside before getting the upper hand late with a tough neck win over this course and distance. Jumps 3kg in weight today but draw a soft gate. Sure to be thereabouts. BOSCO (9) improving gelding with the two wins from his last four outings. Sped to the front and showed plenty of grit with a narrow win over 1100m at Cowra. Looks up to this and not without top-four claims. SPIRITS BURN DEEP (4) back in class and trip and will relish the fast speed. Covered ground early without cover before fading to finish ninth over 1300m at Newcastle in BM68 class. Value player who can return to form. SUGGESTED PLAY: All Adore each-way.
