GOING: S(5)

WESTS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True .  

Good pace from Chandon Star, Enniroc and La Pelago and they'll have company. OUTTA DE LADY (2) led all the way to win first-up over this trip at Warren then raced handy but was less effective when extended to 1100m at Coonamble last start. Big chance back to his pet distance. SUPER SIOUX (11) returned in good order at Gunnedah recently, closing well to finish second over this trip. Lightly raced mare who faces a deeper field today but she should progress with that run under the belt. AWESOME TYCOON (1) has been disappointing of late but most key factors fall his way today - good gate, preferred trip and a BM58. Can improve sharply. CHANDON STAR (7) last appeared six weeks ago when he just missed in a busy finish in a similar race to this at Scone. Raced here twice at 1000m for two wins. Right in contention. LA PELAGO (4) won two in a row then failed in a BM66 at Taree last time. Worth another chance coming back in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Outta De Lady.
