GOING: H(10)

BEACHFRONT OVER 50'S COMMUNITY BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1412m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Moderate tempo with Rahaan the likely leader, Poet's Performer can race handy. MAGIC SHOT (4) is fitter for two runs back over shorter trips and should relish the extra ground here. Blinkers go on and he's a good chance to feature. LUNARTIE (1) is the logical horse to beat after a close up fifth at Newcastle second-up. Just needs to handle the conditions. OPUS (3) might want a bit further but on a wet track he's worth keeping safe fresh. STRATUM CHIEF (5) and TOUGH CASE (7) have place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Magic Shot to win. Save on Lunartie.
