GOING: G(4)

ARROWFIELD QUEEN OF THE WEST- F&M BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

The trio Kimberley Moon, Master Of Disguise and Pants On Fire will set a strong tempo. Most of these have legitimate claims. MASTER OF DISGUISE (6) has been kept fresh since registering her third win from the last four outings in a BM66 over 1000m at Wagga a month ago. Won't mind this extra trip. Leading contender again. INVASIVE DREAMS (4) failed to run out a strong 1400m in a BM82 at Tamworth recently. The winner of three from four over today's distance so expect a much better performance, particularly with the help of gate one. KIMBERLEY MOON (5) went poorly at Wyong last time but had won three from four prior to that. Loves this trip so cannot be left out of calculations. Last start Wellington winner SPORTS PAGE (8) is up sharply in grade but worth including in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Master Of Disguise.
