GOING: G(4)

FLOWER HOTELS CUP BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Wilderness Star and Prancing With Fire taking up the running over Dresden. PRANCING WITH FIRE (2) underrated mare holding her form in similar company. Taken to the front with the 58.5kg when sticking on well to finish a gritty fourth over 1400m at the Gold Coast last time out. Near her peak and will prove hard to run down. FLYBALL (8) only the one win from 22 starts and drops 2kg in weight after finishing fifth over this track and trip last time out. Solid each-way contender. ROSSY'S TYPA GIRL (3) is fifth up for this and gets in light again with the claim in this easier contest. Made up ground late when sixth over 1500m at Muswellbrook on November 3. Tempo suits and look for her charging late. DECLUTTER (6) up in grade from the wide gate and was a total forgive when a plodding seventh over 1600m at Taree in the Krambach Cup last time out. Kept fresh and can turn it around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prancing With Fire to win.
