GOING: S(5)

THE DOCK KINGSTON FORESHORE BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Far Too Hot and Hidden Mogul have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. BEAU ROCK (5) scored a nice win in a BM50 over this trip at Sapphire Coast two runs ago, beating a couple of today's key rivals. Less effective last Saturday at Queanbeyan but a bad run at that circuit is always worth forgiving. Makes plenty of appeal on the seven-day turnaround. SASSEN (12) resumes. Opened last prep with a win at the Sapphire Coast. Cannot be ruled out with the help of a lovely draw. DIAMOND RIDGE (10) failed last start in a much stronger race at Canberra. Form before that was solid so she can bounce back. MERCHANT REIGN (7) meets Beau Rock 1.5kgs better for a 1.4 length defeat over this distance at the Sapphire Coast two back. Failed subsequently over 1300m at Canberra but back in the right race today he poses a genuine threat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beau Rock to win.
