GOING: S(5)

GOOREE PARK BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 4m 900m-600m. True Remainder.  

Obelius, Island Press and Sizzle Minizzle have the speed to be up there without being high speed. AMICUS CURIAE (4) ran well fresh atr Wyong before a closing second at Tamworth just over a week ago. That's good form for this race and with even luck he's the one to beat. FLETCHLO (10) shrugged off a couple of flops when runner-up at Narromine two weeks ago. Best form has him in the mix. FROM THE BUSH (1) had support when battled on for third at Hawkesbury in his best effort this time in. Chance to back that up. SIZZLE MINIZZLE (3) and ISLAND PRESS (2) have claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amicus Curiae to win.
