GOULBURN HAY SUPPLIES CLASS 3 BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.40)  

Sir Franklin to take charge ahead of Hard Pick at a strong tempo. SHYAMALAN (9) returned from a let-up for the new yard with a fading ninth over 1200m at Canberra with the 59kg. Strips fitter for this and can make rapid improvement with the 3kg drop in weight. Solid each way prospect. HIGHWAY STRIP (3) fourth-up today and this looks more to his liking. Set to keep his unbeaten record intact on his home track after closing late when sixth over 1300m at Rosehill in Highway class. SIR FRANKLIN (1) progressive gelding with a sound winning record. Brave return with the 59kg when fourth over 1000m at Randwick in Highway grade. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done with the 63kg. GHOST WALKER (2) getting better with age and looks set for another big preparation. Rattled late from last on the turn with a slashing second over 1200m at Wagga first-up. Comes out of decent rating contest and best form is over this course and distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,3,1,2.
