GOING: G(4)

SOUTHERN CROSS AUSTEREO BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: +3m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Expecting Triptolemus to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SHUTTERING (7) got off the mark over this trip at Canberra last start. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Hot-hand hoop Boudvillain retains the ride and can keep the ball rolling with the confidence high. DIVRON (4) scored when resuming then couldn't repeat the dose last time when sixth here. May do better coming back in journey. Winning rider Holly Durnan stays aboard. Fitter and looks sure to play a big role. LOVEOFMYLIFE (10) closed off well from the back here two back under the big weight. Not as effective last time but comes right back into calculations with weight off. Don't dismiss. HELLS SON (2) doesn't win out of turn but has peaks that measure up and can sneak into the frame. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Shuttering.
