GOING: H(10)

THE TOORMINA HOTEL CUP BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1605m Track: HEAVY 10 Clear (Max: 20) Rail: Out 3m 1000m-350m. Cutaway Applies, True Remainder.
Solid pace from Nature Boy and Fun Enuff fending off pressure from other on-pacers engaged. KAIHOKO (5) underrated gelding who returned from a spell with a plugging ninth over 1500m at Hawkesbury in Highway grade on May 4. Has a much better second-up record and undefeated at this track. Will prove hard to stop. FUN ENUFF (1) won three of his last four starts and going nicely through his grades. Gave his all with the 61kg when a fighting nose winner over 1410m at Grafton on April 30. Has the figures to play a leading role again with the 2kg claim. SIX FOOT SONG (3) former SA-trained gelding who resumed for the Jake Hull yard with a slick fifth from well back over 1500m at Newcastle on May 4. Extra trip suits and worth serious thought. TOUGH CASE (4) up in grade when ran on late to finish fourth over 1600m at Tamworth on May 10. On the quick back-up and should race a little closer from the gate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,3,4.
