GOING: H(10)

TLE ELECTRICAL BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: True.  

A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. CODE OF SILENCE (10) ran a better race last start at the second run of the campaign, working home in good style to be beaten 2.6 lengths over 1400m at Tamworth. Needs the mile now and in a very poor race he gets his chance to break the ice at start twenty-one. BIE'RES (8) has been easily accounted for at her last couple of runs in better races over more ground. Best form comes at this distance. Lightweight hope. READY TO MINGLE (9) backs up seven days after a modest effort at Goondiwindi. Capable of featuring on her best figures. SEE THE SAINT (5) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and looks in need of this trip now. MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN (2) races well here and is not out of the equation. SUGGESTED PLAY: Code Of Silence on top in a mediocre BM50.
