GOING: H(9)

GPE ELECTRICAL & COMMUNICATIONS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 900m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 12)   Rail: +3.5m Entire.  

Rockbarton Shout to boot up to join Foreman's Gully and Majestic Maremma in a keen speed battle. Very open affair. PERFECTLY GOOD (9) has been freshened up since showing pace but dropping out over 1200m at Corowa a month ago. Has the gate speed to overcome the wide draw and his best form stacks up so worth another chance. MAJESTIC MAREMMA (16) had been racing well and thoroughly deserved her maiden win last time out over 900m at Corowa. Goes well here at this trip so from a nice gate she is a major player again. MAGNOLIA STAR (13) returned from a seven-month spell with an authoritative all-the-way win over 900m here three weeks back. Lightly raced mare who looks to be in for her best prep yet so stick with her. ROCKBARTON SHOUT (1) added to an already impressive record with a gutsy win in BM66 at Corowa a fortnight ago. Has plenty of weight but is too honest to rule out. FOREMAN'S GULLY (4) is racing in great heart and enjoys this circuit. Sure to give backers a great sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfectly Good each-way.
