GOING: G(3)

WARREN SERVICES CLUB BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo from the outset with Borlotti leading the charge. MR COSMIC (15) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 16 when beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth at Gunnedah over 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. NEIDR DAWN (8) hit the frame two starts ago at Orange but ran below par last time when ninth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1410m at Orange. Has the talent to put the recent run behind him. FENERBACHE (12) was in the money first up at Lightning Ridge then could only manage sixth last time out over 1300m at Armidale. One of the chances based on his best recent efforts. WAR TOY (2) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over this journey at Mudgee. Should prove tough to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 15,8,12,2.
