GOING: S(6)

BIG SKY COUNTRY BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 950m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a solid pace primarily from Immortal Lass. OUTTA DE LADY (2) was too bad to be true last start at Quirindi, with his form prior stacking right up. Kept fresh for this and has a strong association with JPH. Expect a sharper showing with the partnership reunited. IMMORTAL LASS (5) broke through stylishly last start at Glen Innes, putting a gap on her rivals. Brimming with confidence and looks well placed to make it two on the trot. GERETY (3) was solid two back and improved further at Inverell when a close third. Consistent and competitive, she should be right there at the business end. IRISH ARTHUR (11) was denied a long neck in third over this course and trip last start. Have to take seriously off that. ILIKESOOBOOGIE (7) split Irish Arthur and the winner. Rounds out the main hopes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Outta De Lady gets the nod.
