GOING: H(10)

HANLON WINDOWS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Eltoroson has good early speed and Tillman should also be prominent. Threw also has some pace. PACKER (1) should appreciate getting back to the mile after a close up fourth over 1400m at Wellington. This track also suits better and has won here. Should be in the finish. TILLMAN (7) doesn't win out of turn but was able to prevail at Moruya just over a week ago. Backs up and sure to be competitive again. ELTOROSON (3) is also a last start winner at Moruya after leading all the way. Up in class but can't leave out. JALMARI (2) and ULYSSES BLUE (6) are place chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Packer to win.
