GOING: H(8)

DAPTO LEAGUES CLUB BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Only a small field with Winner Of Kowloon likely to find a comfortable lead. MISS SPACEGIRL (4) rewarded for her consistency when closing off smartly for an overdue victory over 1200m at this track in the soft (7) conditions. Looks to have further upside and will be hitting the line late. WINNER OF KOWLOON (7) was a determined winner at her third career start with the 59.5kg when scoring over 1200m at this course on May 17. Can improve again out to the 1300m and not without each-way prospects. LOS PADRES (2) chipped away on the wrong part of the track when a plugging sixth over 1200m here at his last start. Claim helps and is capable of better. MISS CHECKONI (5) tough mare who comes here in peak condition. Finds an easier contest today after finishing eighth over 1400m at this track. Proven in the going and don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Spacegirl to win again.
