GOING: G(4)

LOCALSEARCH BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1625m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: +1.5m Entire.  

Rumbling Away to take charge ahead of West Cork at a good tempo. MISS MOZAMBIQUE (6) improved sharply third-up blitzing the 60 graders by 4.3L after covering ground. Enjoyed the step up to this distance, and she can go on with the job. BOVIDAE (2) showed enough placing at Ipswich in stronger to say he's a chance. He maps for a soft run and will get every chance. LOVE 'N' ROCKETS (7) is an improver in the premier metro barn. Risks getting bottled up from the inside barrier but has a 2kg claim and has to be kept onside. RUMBLING AWAY (1) led and missed a whisker this distance, building on the comfortable all-the-way win at Beaudesert, quickly back on track. The 3kg claim is handy, but today he has to deal with an outside barrier. RINGER'S REWARD (5) went close the latest over a sprint but is a query at 1625m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Miss Mozambique.
