GOING: H

Globe Hotel Benchmark 56 Handicap 905m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +4m 1500m - 400m, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with Frose and Emteed Glass up front. THE KILL CLUB (5) is racing in great heart. She had two solid placings then over this course and distance, she sat near the pace and ran away late. Obviously this is harder but gains good confidence from that win. THE MARINER (7) was in a lower race at Hamilton but put a good gap on them. The drop in distance could hurt here. GOPHER FRANK (1) goes first up after contesting a Saturday race. Does enjoy racing here. ARTISSI (6) has been consistent without winning. She will get back but finish it off. FROSE (4) will be up there on the pace and could run a good race bringing over Victorian form lines. SUGGESTED PLAY: A few hopes. The Kill Club and Gopher Frank are bets.

Confidence back and is among the main hopes.

Racing well. Most recently scored a big 4.5 len win at Hamilton Bm52 May 29 over 1200m in soft going defeating Padstow Polly with 55kg at $6.50. The run before that 2nd of 10 at this track 0-56 on May 25 over 900m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Bangholme with 51kg at $31. Capable enough on his day and is one of the major players.

Second-up. First-up after five months 4th of 10 at this track 0-56 on May 25 over 900m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Bangholme with 54kg at $9. Previously second-up made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 13 at this track 0-54 on September 22 over 1400m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Loose Lip Lloyd with 55.5kg at $9. Others look to have a bit more upside and looking elsewhere.

At the latest run couldn't go on with it; second last of 10 at Penola 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on June 1 over 1075m, slow going 12 len behind Hubristic carrying 56.5kg at $26. The start before that led but faded 3rd of 10 at this track 2yo+ Mdn Hcp on May 25 over 900m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind The Kill Club with 52.5kg at $31. Seriously doubt his chances in this.
