GOING: S(7)

CASS OIL COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Deebee's Girl should find the front with Cutting Edge and She's A Wild One on her heels. WHERE'S THE FIRE (4) strips fitter for this after closing off with a plugging sixth over 1005m at Tuncurry. Key jockey change and capable of running a bold race. DEEBEE'S GIRL (6) knocked up late at her first run back with a respectable fifth over 1005m at Grafton. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and expected to go close. CUTTING EDGE (1) rewarded for his consistency with a slick victory over 1000m at Taree. Up sharply in weight and gets his chance again. EL BEATLE (3) saves his best for this track and trip. Covered ground in the run with a handy sixth over 1000m at Wellington. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Worth another chance. MISS DE BLAAS (7) will race on the speed with the concussion plates (front) coming off. Drops in weight and worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,6,1,3.
