GOING: G(4)

COOPER COMMERCIAL BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1625m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with Archers Reign probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. The well-related MAPLE DOOR (5) (half to G2 winner Oak Door) got an overdue win over this track and trip last time out and will have taken a bunch of confidence from that victory. Winning rider Zechner sticks in the irons and should be going very close again. LIZZIE'S PRIDE (13) loves it here around this circuit with two wins and nine placings from 17 starts and gets in light with the 2kg claim. Expecting another solid performance. BOOGA RAY (7) couldn't have been more impressive saluting by over three lengths here at the latest effort and looks ready for the step-up to the mile journey now. Shouldn't be underestimated. BETTER YET (3) has hit the top-five at her past four starts and is one for the exotics players. MOOTESSA (6) next best with the claim from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,13,7,3.
