GOING: G

Woolshed Inn Benchmark 66 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Expecting Rising Legend to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. SHISUTA BO (5) made good progress last prep and has been given a freshen-up that would have done her no harm. She has yet to race below 1200m, but only needs a good track to make her presence felt fresh up. Use the market as your best guide. LUNAR SOLAR (7) is proving to be hard to catch and has been battling to find her best for some time. She won her only start on this track, and with a drop back in class from her last start, she can rediscover some form again. Include in all combinations. MISS KERMIE (8) was second fresh up in this company, and her last couple of starts have been in a higher class. She is better placed in this and can have a say in the finish. SUNZOU (2) is the best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shisuta Bo each-way.
