GOING: G(4)

MERINGO STUD COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Slick pace with Howgoodisvegas finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. FOURCADE (3) is racing in career-best form and finds her race today after finishing a gritty fourth over 1400m at Rosehill in Highway grade on August 31. Well drawn with the claim and expected to go close. KOOL BIRD (9) was rewarded for her consistency when a tenacious maiden winner over 1210m at this track on August 30. Saves her best for this track and trip and expected to be thereabouts again. SOHO SUSHI (4) has a good record here and backs up quickly after jumping in class when a plugging ninth over 1200m at Randwick in Highway grade on September 7. One of the leading players. HURRICANE ABLOWING (2) mixing his form after winning well two back, before disappointing as a $1.90 fav when failing to get into the contest finishing fifth over 1280m at Canberra Acton on July 26. Not without each way prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fourcade to win.

The run before that 3rd of 13 at this track Ctry Bm58 on August 18 over 1210m, slow going 0.7 len behind Endorsement with 59.5kg at $7.50. This is much easier and should prove too strong for these.
