GOING: S(5)

GOULBURN CARPET COURT BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 4.9).  

Alpine Kandy and My Rock Singa can set a steady tempo. Annabel Neasham-trained ALPINE KANDY (6) resumes and kicking off at the mile won't bother. Won her only try this course/distance and has warmed up with two metro trials. She can use the low barrier and Van Der Hoven sticks and strikes at 21% with the stable. CHAOTIC BEAUTY (3) improved again beaten a nose here this grade/distance and reared at the start at Albury following and couldn't get into it. Has a positive gate today and has the 2kg claim. The local can bounce back into the finish. BRINGBACKTHEBEARS (1) has been racing well in tougher class. Has the rail and Heywood is a positive jockey booking. Drops back to the mile but is in Canberra's premier yard and can manage. HEROMANIA (2) placed in a CL3 at Canberra over this trip and then belted the 66 graders by 3.2L here over a middle distance. He's also back to the mile but is suited and Penza stays aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Alpine Kandy.
