GOING: G(4)

BYRNE TRAILERS 2024 QUEEN OF THE SOUTH - F&M BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Justela. MISS ATHENA (11) has hit the line nicely in both runs back without breaking through. Goes well at this venue and gets weight relief. Bold showing is anticipated third-up. STORMY WITNESS (2) comes through stronger racing and deserves to carry the big weight. Talented type on her day and could easily blow them away. JUSTELA (1) went close to making it two on the bounce last start when finishing less than a length away at Hawkesbury. Strips fitter third-up but has a task under the big weight. SUBLIMINAL (4) is nearing another win after placing in her last two. Expect her to drift back from the gate and be charging hard at the business end. Smaller cases can also be made for last start winner COMMUNICATION (7) and OVERRUN (9). SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Athena each-way.
