GOING: S(7)

EASY MIX CONCRETE F&M BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Bonjour Madame should lead at a keen tempo. BROADWAY FOLLIES (5) missed the placings for the first time last start when she was poised to strike on the bend but didn't finish off over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Fitter for two runs back from a spell, returns to her pet trip, gets gate one, and Parr takes over, so she ticks a lot of boxes. REDUCIO (10) returned from a seven-month spell with a determined all-the-way win in a maiden over this course and distance a fortnight ago. Lightly raced filly from the Godolphin stable who can progress enough to cause a few headaches in this company. PARTY DOLL (8) caught the eye late to get up for third over this course and distance recently, her third minor placings from as many appearances this prep. Should be thereabouts again. INSIGHTFUL AWARD (9) bolted in at Scone on 4 March and hasn't been sighted since. Must be respected. GAI'S ARTIST (1) strips fitter and can improve back in this company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Broadway Follies to bounce back and score.
