GOING: S(5)

WESTERN FARM MACHINERY & B&C COXSEDGE MEMORIAL BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Good pace early on with Showtime Sassy showing out with Break Over also applying pressure from an outside gate. The flying SHOWTIME SASSY (6) led all the way and finally registered her maiden win last start over 1250m at Gunnedah. Should go straight to the front again from the nice gate and will be tough to reel in. SUNSHINE REGGAE (3) is back from a nine-week break. Form tapered at the end of last prep but her best figures measure up. Expect she will be forward enough to run well. Last start Wean maiden winner AUTUMN LEAF (12) is up in grade but she drops 8kgs on the latest run. Will get back but she is one to watch for late in proceedings. FREEWHEELER (7) raced on the speed then boxed on gamely to hold third last time out over 1200m at Inverell. Hard to beat with the help of the inside gate. HAMPTON COVE (5) wasn't far away at Cowra last start. Each-way hope with a similar effort today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Showtime Sassy to win again.
