GOING: H(8)

MAL GILHAM BUILDING AND DESIGN BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1660m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-380m Cutaway Applies.  

Should be a good battle early on with Hobbsy, Geostorm and Super View leading the charge. POKER DICE (5) has struggled at his last couple of runs, both over 2000m. Freshened up to come back to the mile where is his form is better, including a close fourth in a BM70 at Canberra earlier in the prep. Gets in well after the claim so watch for a return to form. FINAL COMMENT (1) has been easily accounted for in his two runs this time in work, both in Rosehill Highways. Getting out to a more suitable trip now and this is his right grade. Can bounce back. SPRITELY EMILY (11) came from worse than midfield to score impressively here over 1425m last time out. Up in class but she races well at Moruya and will handle the step up in trip. Consider. SUPER VIEW (13) is third-up today. Finding the line with purpose in shorter races so this looks like the ideal progression. Veteran MY BLUE JEANS (10) charged home to win a BM58 here recently. Can't rule him out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tricky race. Poker Dice each-way.
