GOING: G(4)

KILCOY EXCHANGE HOTEL BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1900m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with He's Viral and Born To Be Alive up front. OUR ORATOR (1) wasn't too far off them in town last time out and the form prior to that was good enough to be competitive in this contest. Gets some weight off from the inside alley and should give backers a sight. BRAVE BOY (3) goes well for hoop Wheeler who has two wins and two placings from seven steers. Is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SECURITY ADVISOR (7) has placed over this track and trip and is more than capable enough on his day. Among the leading hopes. PREFER TO DANCE (6) will be rock-hard fit for this and is capable of a forward showing. OAKFIELD EAGLE (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Our Orator.
