GOING: G(3)

TEMPLEMICHAEL CONSTRUCTIONS COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Good tempo expected with Battledance, Fox Reign and Kobaytera rolling forward. SET TO PROPHET (8) strong through the line when a close-up seventh over 1400m at Moree on October 31. Should get the right tempo to fight out the finish. BATTLEDANCE (10) has an okay record on his home track and at this trip. Three weeks between runs when jumped in trip for a dismal ninth over 1615m at Coffs Harbour. Assess on the tough minor placing three-back. MOSGIEL DAISY (4) kept fresh when returning to form with a gritty third over 1600m at Taree in a strong rating contest. Will go back from the draw and motor late at the good odds. CALAMITY FOX (3) rewarded for his consistency when a tough on speed victory over 1509m at Port Macquarie. Map looks ugly today but must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,10,4,3.
