ASGARDA THE QUEEN OF THE SOUTH PRELUDE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +4m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Jato and Blondie's Toronado should set a strong clip. BON HOLLER (9) was safely held when fourth last start at Albury. That followed a good win on debut at Albury. Finds a suitable race and can return to the winner's circle. JATO (7) led all the way to score on debut over 1200m at this track before heading track back to the paddock. Likely improver who should run well again. BLONDIE'S TORONADO (2) will find this a little easier after missing the frame in town last time at Sandown-Hillside. Should be prominent from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. SANTORINI SUN (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over this trip at Goulburn. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bon Holler gets the nod.
