GOING: G(4)

IRRESISTIBLE POOLS & SPAS BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1100m-450m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.10)  

Genuine tempo from Miss Cartel leading Audrey's Lane. THE REPLICANT (4) bumped into some handy types last prep and returns with a good fresh record. Blinkers come off and gets nice weight relief with Stapleford's 3kg claim. Fitted with the two soft trials and will be strong late. AUDREY'S LANE (2) good fresh mare resuming on her home track. Stretched out in trip last campaign and both wins have come over this distance. Given the two searching trials and maps to stalk the speed. Goes close. BELLA CORAZON (11) gritty performance at her first run back in the heavy (8) conditions when second over 1250m at Newcastle. Stable rider goes on and will keep improving as she gets out in trip. Each way. NYMPHADORA (8) this looks a more suitable race after covering ground when eighth over 1400m at Rosehill in BM72 grade. Blinkers come off and capable of improving. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,2,11,8.
