GOING: S

Jacqui Ion Lawyers Benchmark 56 Handicap 2132m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 7m 800m-400m. Out 6m Remainder.  

Even tempo only with Our Fortuna pushing forward from the outside gate in a race that lacks genuine early speed. CHOSEN MISS (1) was a dominant winner over a similar trip two back at Balaklava and then followed it up with a solid chase into the placings at Strathalbyn last time. Ticking along nicely and only has to hold her form to prove very hard to beat. TEMBU BOY (2) wasn't far away two back on the Parks track in a tougher grade, despite finishing seventh. Not as effective last start but can bounce back. SESAR (6) was doing his best work late here last start when finishing in the frame. Goes well over this track and trip and is among the main chances. WARRANDYTE ROAD (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chosen Miss to win.
