GOING: G(3)

TELESCOPE TYRES | PARKES REAL PROPERTY BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 38)   Rail: True.  

Houdini Spirit should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. MISS TORONADO (1) former Victorian mare who resumes for the Todd Smart stable. Has shown ability in nine career starts with a proven first-up record. Gets her chance from the good draw with a senior rider engaged. CHICKEN LEGS (3) drops in grade and the 3kg claim will help his cause after fading late to run eighth over 1200m at Inverell. Faces an easier assignment and is perfectly placed to bounce back. ONE MORE THING (6) fitter after two runs back and proven at this track and trip. Kept fresh and can take a hand in the finish. PRESS GAZE (8) improved effort second-up when second over 900m at Wellington. Well drawn and should be right in contention. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Toronado to assert her class.
