GOING: H(8)

HAYMES PAINT SHOP ALBION PARK BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 6m Entire.  

Zhivago is expected to cross from a wide alley and lead. ELEGANT EMPRESS (3) was six weeks between runs when a tiring seventh over this trip at the Kensington track last time out. Distance specialist who strips fitter and is nicely placed back at the provincials. MISTY LEGEND (4) has been freshened up since a disappointing effort over this distance at Warwick Farm six weeks ago. Best form stacks up so he deserves another chance. ISLAND DEC (11) has not been produced since a barnstorming winner on debut over this course and distance on 20 June. Will go back again from the wide alley but watch for her late. The Neasham/Archibald stable has a couple of promising types resuming, headed by NETTLES (7) who is back from a 28-week spell. Came of age last prep, closing off with back-to-back wins. This is short of her best but while fresh she comes under notice. SUPAIRO (13) last appeared when successful in a Lismore maiden 13 months ago under Matthew Dunn's care. Won a recent Randwick trial so looks ready to fire. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elegant Empress each-way.
