GOING: G(4)

B&K DENT QTIS BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: +1m 1000m-300m; True Remainder . (Pent: 5.95)  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Wong Way and Grinzinger Burg kicking up to hold out the next wave. CITY OF BOULDER (3) brings a string of placings, and Wiggins staying aboard is a decent push for his chances. The extra metres won't pose a problem and she maps for a soft run. She can go one better. PEROVIC (1) has switched from the Matt Dunn yard in NSW on a 22-day return. His last six starts have all been in town, and four back he was beaten a whisker in a CL5 at Doomben over a mile. He's been scratched from an earlier race, and the 2kg claim brings him into it. HEARSAY (5) went close in a 65 at Mackay over this distance at Mackay and impressed winning at Barcaldine prior over a sprint. The rail should advantage her, and she's on a quick backup. In the mix. PREMIUM STAR (4) turned the immediate form around, belting the 58 graders here by 3.5L. Any cut out of the ground suits him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with City Of Boulder.
