GOING: G(4)

GORDON'S GIN QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +6.5 metres Entire Course. (Pent: 5.67)  

Keen tempo headed by Booya Boy. ENFORCEABLE (3) broke the maiden status at Gold Coast last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Winning rider Lloyd retains the ride and should be going very close again. BOOYA BOY (6) was heavily supported on debut and didn't let backers down with a strong Ballina win. Can go right on with the job now. READY FOR AIMEE (10) didn't measure up in Saturday grade at the latest effort but should find this assignment much more to her liking. Top-three aspirations. METALCRAFT (4) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may earn a cheque. THE TORQUE EXPRESS (9) next in line with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Enforceable to win again.
