GOING: G(4)

SPRING RACES 16 NOVEMBER BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 2210m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 38)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.10)  

Solid tempo with Tavieslass leading from Aces Up and El Asteroid. TAVIESLASS (4) led them up and deserved the comfortable win at Toowoomba. Peaks and still has more to give. Maps to control the race and the 2kg claimer stays aboard. ACES UP (2) spiked his figures narrowly beaten at the Sunshine Coast. Maps well and the middle distance will hold no fears. EL ASTEROID (1) brings a CL1 win from the country and it was a decent effort. Will race handy and can't be ruled out. NEW WORLD TAPESTRY (3) has switched from a Victorian yard on a 52-day return. Staying is his caper and is worth a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Tavieslass.
