GOING: H(9)

ELITE HAULAGE BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HVY9   Clouds (Max: 10)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.8).  

Epaullo Creed and Able Red can run the small field along. SUPER NORWEST (7) was spelled off a 2L defeat at Randwick in a Highway and resumed there at the same level with an equally solid effort. She's won a trial here since and is proven second-up. The one to beat. BEST INTENT (2) found a Metro 72 too tough third-up but was building nicely into that. She can position forward and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. ABLE RED (8) resumes and has switched from a Sydney yard. He's proven fresh and has looked sharp in his recent trials. Won't have to be much improved to make the finish. CHOP THE ICE (6) will be better suited back to a sprint and he has pieces of form that would give him a chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Super Norwest.
