GOING: G(4)

TOP PADDOCK CATERING BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True. (Pent: 5.68)  

Strong pace with Lietuva, Dune And Dusted and Bold Julius paving the way. MISS MONEYPENNY (21) was thereabouts in all three runs to commence the career including a victory on debut at the Sunny Coast. Can return in winning order. LIETUVA (16) just ran into one better in town last time out and will find this assignment a touch easier. Top-three aspirations. NIGHTCAPPED (13) is a two-time winner over this distance range and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Can earn some minor money. BOLD JULIUS (19) strips fitter second-up from the spell and looks one for the exotics players. GALWAY HUSSLER (6) next best with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Moneypenny to come back a winner.

Has confidence back and worth thought again.
