GOING: G(4)

TUNCURRY BEACH BOWLING CLUB BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Grande Bellezza to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. OH DEER (7) has come back much stronger this campaign and looks well placed today. Ran on late when a game third over 1350m at Wyong. Can sit off this lot and pick them up effortlessly with the senior rider booked. LISTINS LASS (1) just over a month between runs when a respectable sixth over 1250m at Newcastle in a BM64 behind Oui Oui Oui. Back in grade and will be doing her best work late. PRORATA (3) failed to stretch out on the firm surface when a battling twelfth over this journey at Kembla Grange. Will find his easier and stays in the mix. OUR LADY STARDUST (9) has a poor win record, and the tongue-tie goes on. Gets in light with the claim and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oh Deer looks too classy for this lot.
