CENTRAL COAST GOLF COURSES PROVINCIAL BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1350m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Prince Of Sorts to take charge ahead of Invade And Conquer at a solid tempo. PRINCE OF SORTS (2) went nicely through his grades last time in and has a solid second-up record. Tough assignment on resumption when a fading seventh in the Prov Mid Champs over 1400m at Newcastle. Gets Chambers' claim today and expected to go close. INVADE AND CONQUER (3) doesn't win out of turn but has run into some handy types throughout his career. Gave his all with the 59.5kg at the first run back when a tenacious on-pace third over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Extra trip in his favour and he has genuine top-three claims. INVASIVE DREAMS (4) up in grade from the outside gate and never looked a winning chance when taken back before running on late when sixth over 1400m in the Mudgee Cup. Comes here in peak fitness and has worthy each-way prospects. SENSHI (12) big improver at the latest when up in trip for a narrow fifth over 1500m at Newcastle. Adds value to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Of Sorts and Invade And Conquer to fight it out.
