GOING: H(8)

CALOUNDRA RSL BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 7.26).  

Genuine pace from the outset. KING YOSHI (3) resumed with a big effort for fourth here on a heavy track just under a fortnight ago in a 100K contest. He will find this a lot easier and with James Orman retaining the ride, he is clearly the one to beat, especially following a few key scratchings. BOOM BOOM BELLA (12) never got into the race first up but a key booking with Maloney going aboard and she shapes as the main danger. CICCONE (8) has placed at this track before and has trialled well in the lead up. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Yoshi on top.
