GARRARDS HORSE AND HOUND BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1050m Track: SOFT7 Clouds (Max: 24) Rail: Out 0.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.14). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo with Je Suis Fabuleux to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. Former NSW galloper PARADE GROUND (1) was a touch plain at Newcastle last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. MISS DAURIAN (11) has placed over this track and trip and is another to draw low. Top-three contender. PRETTY SLICK (2) has a win and three placings from five attempts over this course and distance and may make her presence felt. DRAGON'S SNIP (3) fitter now and is worth some thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Parade Ground to bounce back.
