GOING: S(6)

ELDERS KILLARA FEEDLOT BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Magnolia Jewel should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. DENMAN BANDIT (3) finished fourth two runs back at Dubbo then improved last time out to score by 1.1 lengths as favourite after being in contention on the corner over 900m at Wellington. Looks well placed so expect another big run. EL BEATLE (5) ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2 lengths over 1000m at Port Macquarie after being in the firing line on the turn. Could be one at odds. GOLDEN VADER (6) finished sixth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten only 0.9 lengths. Nicely placed to find winning ways. KAWATIRI (10) gets in light with the claim and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Denman Bandit to win again.
