GOING: H(8)

U&U RECRUITMENT BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1600m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 5.96).  

Solid tempo likely with Aerial Bay and Sanbano matching motors. HALLSIDE MARTINI (4) won over this trip at Ipswich two-back and has been outgraded the two since. She needs a good ride but rates strongly and this is a winnable assignment. ROCK YA (5) resumes and is also good enough. He's proven fresh and should be further improved. He's warmed up with two city trials. AERIAL BAY (8) is approaching peak fitness now and did a good job when only 1.2L from the winner at Doomben last start. Can play a role again along with FLYING BIRDS (3) who produced a decent effort in a last-start fourth so is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Hallside Martini.
