GOING: G(4)

IP ADVOKAT BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 2100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a strong gallop with Lugarno and De Louviere taking up the running over Tainui. SWEET BUBBLES (7) tough mare with her hoof on the till. Savaged the line with the claim when an eye-catching second over 2400m at Kembla Grange. Gets a similar set-up for this and will take holding out. DASH BY (8) holding her form on the country tracks and down sharply in weight for this. Shouldered the 60kg with a plugging fourth in a slow run contest in the soft going over 2000m at Taree. Genuine top-three player. DE LOUVIERE (9) back in grade when he loomed strongly on the turn to finish an improved fourth over 1850m at Newcastle. At his peak for this and can take a hand in the finish. CAN'T RECALL ONE (3) total forgive from the wide barrier at latest with a plugging ninth over 1850m at Newcastle. Improver who finished third in the Nowra Cup three starts back. Value contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sweet Bubbles is expected to go one better.
