GOING: S(7)

COOL BLUE ICE CURLEWIS CUP BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1400m Track: SOFT 7 Clouds (Max: 14) Rail: Out 3m 1000m-380m; Cutaway Applies, True Remainder.
The speedy Musical Affair should find the front early on. INDIFFERENCE (1) has been well beaten in both of his starts back from a spell but they have been in city class fields and he should notice the drop in class for his third up assignment. He has to carry 63 kilos but should still have most of his rivals covered on ability alone. Stick with him. On top. MUSICAL AFFAIR (8) is mixing her form wildly lately and was run down after leading at Narromine last time out. She has a much better draw this time and won't be using lack of fitness as an excuse. She is worth another chance and will take some pegging back. BARELLAN BANDIT (2) is a very handy performer at this level and had his first run for a new trainer at Randwick on their Kenso track nearly 10 weeks ago and ended up being disqualified. He has a good gate and is too good to drop just yet. Include in all combinations to be safe. TOUGH CASE (11) is nicely placed at the weights and another honest effort can be expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Indifference to win.
