GOING: G(4)

SWR BUILDING SUPPLIES BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1812m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +2m 1500m-400m, Cutaway Applies, True Remainder.  

Even tempo with Charmed Destiny probably taking it up from a low draw in the absence of a genuine leader. CHARMED DESTINY (2) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the bend over 2100m at Tuncurry, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. LAMPKIN LANE (4) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1610m at Grafton when beaten a long neck. Looks tough to stop. ECLAIR DANCER (12) turned in a better run last start, beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1624m at Taree. Nicely placed to find some form. DURUSEHVAR (6) next elect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charmed Destiny to win.

Recent form sound. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Tuncurry Bm58 on April 7 over 2100m, on heavy track; 1.5 len behind Gandolfini with 54kg at $3.90. The start before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.1 len at this track Bm50 March 29 over 1815m on a heavy track defeating Durusehvar with 55.5kg at $2.70. Certainly worth another chance.
