TOYOTA TUNDRA BENCHMARK 58 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Abundant early pressure from the speedy pair Avalicious and Chesteray. ADELSUN (8) handy mare who returned in good order with a fast finishing head win over 1300m at Orange on September 7. Drops in weight and can race a little closer from the good gate. BROADWAY FOLLIES (12) created a big impression on debut when a slick winner over 1200m at Bathurst two weeks ago. Maps to get the right run and expected to go close again. SHAQUILA (4) has fitness on his side and will prove hard to run down today. Had to work hard early from the draw when a gritty head second over 1200m at Bathurst on September 16. No shock to see him go one better. TALLAWAH (6) former Victorian trained gelding now in the Brett Robb yard. Wound up late on resumption when fifth over 1212m at Benalla on September 3. Must be kept safe here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,12,4,6.
