GOING: H(9)

KEL CAMPBELL FUEL HAULAGE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

Despite the small field Kool Kade, Whiskey George and Platinum Gift will set a genuine tempo. BATTLE WARRIOR (5) was too good here two back before missing by 1.5L back to 1000m at this track last time out. Back out to 1100m now is a big tick and he maps beautifully for Bourke. Rates highly off his win here two back and he can go one better here. PLATINUM GIFT (3) resumed with a strong win over the 1000m here 39 days ago and has been back to the trials since where he moved well. Beuzelin sticks with the gelding here and he if he can build on the first-up effort, he'll be hard to hold out. ABSTRUSE (2) got the job done last week at the Sapphire Coast, getting there in the nick of time to score in a photo finish. Collett rides now and this shapes as a similar event here. Can be in the finish once more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Battle Warrior can get back to winning ways.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming ran last of 10 at Parkes Bm58 on January 9 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Prophet Time carrying 61.5kg at $2.05. Second run from a spell raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 9 at Moruya Bm58 on January 23 over 1010m, 6 len behind Girls Weekend carrying 61.5kg at $12. Will be harder to beat this time.
