GOING: S(6)

WESTS ENTERTAINMENT GROUP COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m 1000m-300m, True Remainder .  

Moderate tempo with Hot Wok leading the way. NOT IN DOUBT (5) did a good job last time, missing by just a neck when second over this track and distance. That was her third successive placing so the hoof is on the till and has trialled since last seen. Deserves to break through. GREAT POINT (4) went back early from her wide draw at Muswellbrook last time but hit the line strongly. Building in fitness and both wins have come at this distance. GRANDINI (10) got off the mark over 1300m at Dubbo last start, scoring by a head. Still early in the campaign so there may be more progression to come. THE IMPECKABLE (1) was a beaten favourite first up but will be fitter. The form last time in was good and steps up to a distance where the record is sound. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not In Doubt to break through.
