GOING: S(5)

EUREKA STUD Fillies and Mares BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.97).  

Pace on from the outset with Tattle, Rich Minx and Exotique Miss pushing forward, closely attended by Memoria and Party Spirit. RICH MINX (8) hasn't done much wrong with three wins and a placing from five career outings including an impressive four-length romp at Doomben last time out. Looks the runner in this field with the most upside and should be going very close again. SPIRIT QUEEN (4) has placed seven from nine over this six-furlong journey and doesn't know how to run a bad race. A must for the multiples. EXOTIQUE MISS (1) resumes here but has won two from three when fresh and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Can figure in the finish. MEMORIA (2) draws the inside alley and will be rock-hard fit for this. In the mix on best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rich Minx to salute again.
