GOING: G(4)

BARRIER REEF POOLS BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 2160m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Deep Dawn should be able to comfortably find the front. ENTERPRISE PRIVATE (4) returned in good order with a dominant Sunny Coast victory before just running into one better at Grafton last time out. Mallyon sticks in the saddle following that last start placing and should be right there when the whips are cracking. The well-related ALPINE KANDY (7) (half to G3 winner Double You Tee) has a handy record over this staying journey with a win and two placings from four attempts. Maps nicely for this from gate two and can make her presence felt. DEMARCAY (2) is on the doorstep of another win with consecutive runner-up finishes and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. In the mix. TEWKESBURY (3) doesn't win out of turn but has placed three of four over this trip and is a must for the exotics players. ALDEENAARY (1) is one from one over this course and distance and may run a big race while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,7,2,3.
