GOING: G(4)

SHAY BRENNAN CONSTRUCTIONS BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 1200m-350m. True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with Sisters Pick leading from Castlebar Road and Scarzel. VERY SHARP (6) good fresh mare resuming from the Northam yard. Fitted with a recent 1000m trial placing and gets the good tempo to close off late. Go close. DRIVING FORCE (2) was a model of consistency last time in and returns from a lengthy spell. Scored a slick 1000m trial win at Dubbo and he should be primed for this. IRON HAT (3) has fitness on his side and back in trip and weight after finishing fourth over 1200m here on August 27. Among the chances. RHYTHM IS A DANCER (4) smart gelding returning after racing in stronger company last time in. Primed with two searching trials and maps to get the right run. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,2,3,4.
