GOING: S(6)

SECRETARY'S COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Ringside is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. KRANICH (8) was a barnstorming winner over this trip last start at Gunnedah. Backs up quickly and is open to further improvement third-up. Must take seriously. HIMORHER (3) made some late inroads first-up and will relish the rise in trip. Strips fitter and is drawn to settle closer. Rates a threat. SOCIAL OUTCAST (2) comes off a strong win at Merriwa. This is tougher but she gets in well with the claim and draws well again. In the mix. RETHINK IT (6) returned to form in style at Inverell. No reason she can't go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going Kranich to win.
