GOING: S(6)

TOOHEYS NEW BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1700m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Good early pressure for top spot with Lafilio or Shallelujah likely to take up the running. AMEN BROTHER (1) did well to score at Queanbeyan two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in contention on the corner before finishing second over 1600m at Sapphire Coast. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PHOTO MAN (9) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out at Narrandera. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAYFAIR HOTEL (15) was far from her best last start at Goulburn but had been racing much better in her two starts prior. Easier this time and is drawn well. Can bounce back sharply. LAFILIO (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amen Brother to win.
