GOING: H(9)

BAKEWELL HAULAGE COREY BROWN CUP BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1250m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Zenti to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. ZENTI (8) handy Scone-trained gelding who returned with a strong on pace third over 1000m at Tamworth in the heavy (8) going. Worth noting his best form is second up and looks the one to catch with the light weight. SWAMP NATION (7) best figures are over his home track and trip, and a win looks imminent. Stamped urgent from the outset when nailed right on the line to finish second over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Comes here in peak condition and expected to go close. TIME FOR VICTORY (2) back from provincial class when a surprise winner with the 61kg over 1000m at this track. Capable on his day and not to be underestimated. ZARU (5) another who saves his best for this track and trip. Failed to make it three straight wins on resumption when a disappointing tenth over 1000m at this track. His second-up record is much better, and the bulk of his wins have come at this distance. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zenti to find winning form.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Comes off a 45 day let-up. Resuming ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track Hannam Cup March 17 over 1007m on a rain affected track defeating Dis Is Heaven with 57kg at $14. Second-up raced on the pace before fading second last of 8 at Canterbury Cg&E Bm64 on April 21 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Cassiel carrying 58kg at $31. Going well. No surprise to see him bounce back.

Before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 7th of 11 at Gosford Bm64 on April 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Xtra Approval with 59.5kg at $10. Nicely placed and will prove hard to beat again.
