GOING: S(6)

RADIO GOULBURN COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.25)  

Genuine tempo with Geostorm leading the way. THE PREDICTOR (2) holding his form well and senior rider back on today after catching the eye when third over 1600m at Wagga. Can race a little closer from the gate and he gets the right tempo. BREAKAWAY WEEK (3) has a good record at this track and looking for the extra ground now after failing to sprint with them when eighth over 1300m at Wagga. Gets weight relief with the claim and ready for the 1500m. DOWNTOWN'S ABBEY (6) will find this more to her liking third up after fading late when fifth over 1500m at Albury in C3 class. Will hold a forward position and give plenty of cheek. DUBAI CENTRE (1) went forward from the outside gate and gripped on late when fifth over 1400m at this track in BM66 class. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,3,6,1.
