PETER MAC'S MECHANICAL F&M BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Kimberley Moon to take charge ahead of Mamushka at a good tempo. Strong race with plenty of chances. MAMUSHKA (7) Capitalist filly undefeated in two starts. Stalked the speed and pulled out plenty over the closing stages when scoring over 1200m at Gosford. Desperate for the track to dry out and expected to go close. MISS SPACEGIRL (9) gave weight to Mamushka when launching late for a close up second over 1200m at Gosford. Capable of turning the tables with the good early tempo. PARTY DOLL (8) two runs back have been encouraging and will relish the class drop. Held on gamely with the claim when second over 1000m at Gosford. Ready to peak and cannot be overlooked. EVERY HEART (12) racing well and comes out of a strong form race when collared late by Ghost Walker to finish second over 1300m at Goulburn. Track suits from the good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,9,8,12.
