THREE RIVERS MACHINERY NARROMINE GOLD CUP - SUNDAY 23 AUGUST BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 800m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 12)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Strong tempo with Too Darn Lovely, Angie's Sister and Beaunified leading the charge. TOO DARN LOVELY (2) returns and looks much better suited back to this level. Has posted two first-up wins in the past and has been readied with a sharp trial win on the Illawarra Grange. Draws to advantage and gets an important 3kg claim. Will take some catching from the front. CHAPPOLICIOUS (8) has mixed her form since resuming but shoulders peaks that measure up. Is still relatively lightly raced and should be giving herself every chance on speed from the inside pillar. ANGIE'S SISTER (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1000m at Warren. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Likely improver with strong prospects. TAORMINA SAILOR (3) also showed good early speed from an outside draw when fresh from a spell last time out and led for much of the way before finding a couple better. Fitter now and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Too Darn Lovely.
