GOING: H(10)

REMAX ELITE WAGGA BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Without much in the way of early speed it might be left to Copperfield to take charge. CHOICE WITNESS (5) had been racing well on the country circuit, before jumping in grade with a disappointing seventh over 1300m at Sandown-Hillside last Wednesday. Drops significantly in weight and is undefeated in two attempts on the heavy tracks. Can bounce back quickly over this trip. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (7) from the in-form Mitch Beer stable and he's starting to put it all together now. Closed strongly in a solid rating contest when fifth over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Looking for this distance and is adept in all going. LOS PADRES (2) another from the Beer yard with his hoof on the till. Deep into his prep and looks ready for the 1400m after running third over 1200m at Wyong. Can roll forward and figure prominently. COPPERFIELD (1) back in class and strips fitter after he was a month between runs when sixth over 1600m here. Loves the conditions and keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Choice Witness and Your Not the Boss to fight it out.
