GOING: G(4)

Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month - call 1800 RESPECT BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m 700m-275m. True Remainder.  

Expecting Scenic Rim to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. GALAXY GENERAL (3) is a very consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five in all six starts this preparation. Will be rock-hard fit for this and looks the one they all have to run down. SCENIC RIM (4) loves it here around this circuit winning three of four overall and has been racing with a lot of confidence of late. Has to be included. DWINDLING SPIRIT (9) won over this course and distance at the latest effort and Huxtable sticks in the saddle. Worth plenty of thought again. SIENNA'S AWARD (12) doesn't know how to run a bad race and is one for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Galaxy General to win.
