GOING: G(4)

CAMPBELL & GEORGE COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +3m 900m-275m, Cutaway Applies.  

Pleasurize should spear straight to the front of the small field. PLEASURIZE (2) resumed seeking the hat-trick when beaten 2L at Moruya in much stronger than this. Won her only second-up start in a Goulburn 58 and will likely control the race. Strips fitter with a handy 2kg claim, and she's the one they have to beat. MAN FROM BRUSSELLS (5) just missed at Bathurst and then ran a short-priced favourite at Wellington, beaten 1.8L. Cahill stays aboard, and the gelding flies at this track. Has solid claims. XSPIRITOUS (4) has been plainer at her last two but was tracking well enough prior. Maps well and keeps a 2kg claim. The stable has a tidy record at the track, and she can't be ruled out. ANTHRACIA (7) got closer at Moruya and the local maps well. Freshened, and the blinkers come off. Her best would have her in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pleasurize.
