HARMY'S GOLDY FIVE-0 BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1050m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Clover's Prince andGhost Hunter to battle for the lead at a cracking tempo over this sprint journey. AIRSTRIKE (11) is on a 7-day back-up after sitting just off the lead and finishing 4th in this grade over 1200m here last week. Has been racing well lately without winning but from a low draw, down in the weights over the 1050m she looks a strong each-way chance. BAUHINIA ROCK (2) has a wide draw but should be fitter after finishing 3rd in this grade first-up. That was his first defeat in three attempts at this course and he is unbeaten in two previous second-up runs so has to be among the main chances. GET WHAT YOU GIVE (3) was out of the placings as a short-priced favourite here last start but he is a four-time winner this track and winkers go on for this. He's capable of figuring. Consider LADY SHOTGUN (10) for multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Airstrike each-way.
