DUBBO RSL CLUB WINTER COUNTRY CLASSIC FINAL BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 4m 900m-400m. True Remainder.  

Speed is a bit patchy with D'Arpano, Zounile and Moon Zone likely to be forward. Sports Page races handy. SPORTS PAGE (9) was a dominant winner over 1300m here two weeks ago and won't find this any harder. Doesn't want a heavy track so that's the only caveat but she's hard to beat. HIT THE RIM (1) seems to be finding some form again and was game chasing an all the way winner in the Gulgong Cup. Claim helps and should run well. ALLAY (6) won nicely over this course last time out and stays under notice again. D'ARPANO (11) and SKYFORGER (5) are worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sports Page to win.
