GOING: H(10)

MLW FENCING 2024 GLOUCESTER CUP BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong pace from Nazare's Impact and Pisa Cake matching motors with The Young Years close at hand. PISA CAKE (4) improving filly who jumped in class and trip when a plugging fifth in the heavy (9) going over 1305m at Tuncurry on April 18. Close to her top now and Christian Reith sticks. NAZARE'S IMPACT (3) big improver fourth-up when handled the heavy (9) going for a strong on-pace victory over 1305m at Tuncurry on April 18. Claim helps again but does rise 4kg in weight. Has each way prospects. NEVADA SMOKE (9) trained on the track and yet to win in 14 attempts here. Sat on the speed before failing to go on with the job when a tiring sixth over 1262m at this track on April 20. Extra trip suits and can sneak into the minor money. ISLEDON (11) solid effort three back at Grafton but has struggled since. Can add value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,3,9,11.
