GOING: G(4)

CLUB FORSTER BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 2100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Zartamay is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. STOCK ROAD (9) fourth-up today and expecting a better showing in this weaker race. Back in trip when a plugging fifth over 1600m at Wyong. Drops in weight and D-Day is looming. PURPLE KITTY (4) has gone to a new level this time in with the two wins from his last three starts. Jumps in trip after he demolished his rivals over 1408m at Taree. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. BUMP'N'RUN (6) closed off nicely when beaten 0.8 lengths last time at Taree. Can contest for a place. MISSION BRAVO (1) broke a drought when he scored last start over 2012m at Taree. Well placed to go back-to-back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,4,6,1.
