GOING: G(4)

#LOVEQUEANBEYAN JERRABOMBERRA COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Artieos, Oakeys Choice and Rained Out to take up the running at a decent tempo. MAN FROM BRUSSELLS (4) was saved for this and has been busting to break through for his third win. Finds easier than Dubbo the latest and 2x winning rider Mathew Cahill is reunited. That's a decent push for his chances. PUSHALOT (2) has also been threatening and Owen sticks with the Canberra-trained galloper on a 9-day return. Will go forward and is a live chance. ANTHRACIA (3) was a winner over 1000m at this track last time out, coming home well to score by a nose. Draws inside and will be tough to stop again. ARTIEOS (1) resumes and has won twice fresh. Has trialled well at Moruya and is a betting watch. OAKEYS CHOICE (5) tumbles in weight this grade with a 3kg claim atop and will push forward. Keep onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Man From Brussells.
