GOING: G(4)

TAMWORTH CITY TOYOTA BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m 1200m-350m. True Remainder.  

They will be getting along early with Aesthete and Fenerbache leading the charge. TYSON'S DREAM (9) progressive gelding trained on the track. Going through his grades nicely after winning as fav over 1600m at Quirindi on April 30. Looks up to this from the good draw. NORMAN (8) was below his best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths over 2100m at this track. This is a nice drop in grade and is one of the main contenders. SEAHAVEN (3) back in trip and class here after tiring in the run to finish eighth over 2100m here on April 26. Can hold a forward position and run into the money. OUR GIRL EVE (10) produced another moderate effort last start when 5.5 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1600m at Inverell. Capable of featuring prominently with the drop in weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tyson's Dream to win.
