SCONE RSL BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 27)   +3m 800 - 400, True remainder  

Solid tempo likely with Open Pearly Gates and Proud With Pride matching motors. YOTOTSU (8) transferred from Ciaron Maher to local trainer Nikki Pollock and resumed from a 130-day spell last start with an eye-catching second over 1300m at this track. Settled worse than midfield that day then let down impressively to just miss. Beautifully placed up to the mile and will be hard to stop. OUTCAST GIRL (6) hit the line with gusto to collect a Bm58 over this distance at Nowra recently when second-up from a spell. Third-up form isn't great which is the concern, but she still demands attention. OUTBACK ARCHIE (10) wasn't far away last time out over 1400m at this circuit. In nicely after the claim and should be peaking now. OPEN PEARLY GATES (5) won his maiden at a very short quote last start at Dubbo. New to this distance. In the mix. FLYING BANJO (9) has been about the mark all prep and is a solid each-way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yototsu is ready to win.
