GOING: S(5)

BARRIER REEF POOLS BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 2150m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: +2.5m Entire.  

Twisted Mistress is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. ALDEENAARY (2) hasn't been able to live up to market expectations in his last two but will find this easier. Was a dominant winner here over a similar trip last campaign. Big chance to do it again. CEREMONIOUS (3) is another that will appreciate the drop in grade. Has proven a versatile type this campaign, so no shock to see him roll forward from the wide draw and give them something to catch. JUNGLE JET (9) made a complete mess of his rivals here last start when putting the best part of 15L to his nearest rival. Orman takes over. Warrants serious consideration. VICTORY COMMAND (4) followed up his maiden win with a strong chasing effort to repeat the dose here at the latest. The form around him is stacking up nicely and is certainly one to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aldeenaary to win.
