GOING: H(9)

PAT DUFF MEMORIAL CUP BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1900m

Track: Heavy 9     Rail: True.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Shot Down By Love and Swiper kicking up to hold out the next wave. SWIFT SON (5) put in an improved performance placing over this distance range at the latest outing and hoop Bayliss stays in the saddle. Maps well from gate four and his best figures put him right in this contest. JUSTICE SERVED (1) didn't measure up in much harder company last time out but go on the strong Grafton victory two back. Draws the inside alley and gets some weight off with the claim. Capable of bouncing right back. SHAPE OF WATER (6) just ran into one better over this course and distance last time when trying to lead all the way. Sure to give backers a sight. SWIPER (3) broke the maiden status over this track and trip before the spell and will have come on with that first-up run now in the locker. Keep in mind. DECEMBER DIAMOND (9) next best from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Swift Son in an open affair.
