GOING: S

Bendigo Bank (Bm50) 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Not expecting them to go too hard without a recognised leader engaged. MYSTIC FLAME (6) is usually thereabouts with placings at four of her last five runs. Kept chasing last start when she found a couple better over 1375m at Cowra. Fair record at this trip with a win and four minors and should prove tough to beat. SOUL BENEFIT (4) showed early speed from a good draw last time and raced on speed before toughing out a win by a nose over 1300m at Corowa. In form and worth following up. ZARSUPREME (2) is back to the scene of his victory two runs back. Contender. KITTY KARINE (12) can be thereabouts in an easier race today than she's faced her past few. SUGGESTED PLAY: The consistent Mystic Flame to break through.
