GOING: H(10)

LEST WE FORGET BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 10     Rail: +1.5m 600m-225m; Cutaway Applies True Remainder.  

Expecting Oberoi Princess to take up the running with Sir Carter and Elliez Star close at hand. OBEROI PRINCESS (9) is a very progressive mare who will be chasing a hat-trick of wins after scoring at the Sunshine Coast nearly 3 weeks ago by a short-head when leading all of the way. She will have to work a bit harder from a tougher gate this time, but Justin Huxtable can negate that with some early luck. On top. SPOOKY SPIRIT (2) ran on too late, fresh up at Toowoomba 4 weeks ago on a heavy surface. He has won 2 of his 3 starts second-up and would not be a shock winner. BADGERS NUTS (1) has raced his way back into some good form and he is an each-way threat again. KRAKARIB (3) hail from the strong Adam Campton stable and should now be ready to put his best hoof forward. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spooky Spirit each way.
