GOING: G(4)

HITOTSU AT ARROWFIELD STUD BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.80)  

Strong early tempo with Ready For Lift Off and Magic Sorcerer leading the way. CHARLOTTING (7) finished out of the money two starts back then jumped sharply in trip with an improved fourth over 2400m at Wellington eight days ago. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. BILL PEYTO (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth over 1700m at Wellington. Has the talent to take care of this field with the claim. SHOW US YA TEXTS (9) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fourth over 1600m at Tamworth. Cannot be ruled out over this trip. MAGIC SORCERER (3) finished eighth last start over 1400m at Armidale after racing on the pace for much of the way. Can feature in the finish with the sharp drop in class. FANTASY CROWNED (1) placed at this trip and on the quick back-up after catching the eye at Wellington. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,5,9,3.
