GOING: G(4)

ARROWFIELD BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.98)  

Expecting plenty of speed from Mirai San, Fox Reign and Straand Care from Climate Control. BROKEN WINGS (4) dug deep to arrive just in time when resuming. Was left with far too much to do last time in town but did make good late inroads. Peaking now and reunites with Bullock, who I suspect will be more prominent on the mare. Can get the job done. MYRIAD (6) made a mess of his maiden when resuming, then followed up with a solid fourth at Wyong. Peaking now and is drawn to advantage with the winning hoop reuniting. Big danger. PRIZE WRITER (1) made an immediate impact when getting the bob on debut as favourite. Not as effective last time at Wyong but can rebound sharply third-up. STRAAND CARE (2) returns and looks best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Broken Wings to win.
