GOING: G(4)

OAKEY ACADEMY OF DANCE RACING EN POINTE BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1890m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True. (Pent: 5.85)  

Moderate pace with Great Angles taking up the running ahead of Katerini and Force Me. JUSTICE SERVED (1) is unbeaten in 2 starts on this track and had a tough trip at the Sunshine Coast 8 days ago when travelling wide over 2400m. He is likely to push forward early on here, and if he can conserve some energy, despite having a wide gate, then he is good enough to take this out. LIZZIE'S PRIDE (9) has been a touch disappointing here in her last couple of starts and may have just needed racing to reach her full fitness. She has been getting back in her runs, and maybe a more positive ride early on can see her return to some of her best form again. Each way value. HIDEYO (3) made a winning Queensland debut for Mark Currie here 3 weeks ago when extending nicely to score by over 3 lengths. The extra 265m won't be a problem, and she can win again. SOKUDO (15) is a durable veteran who was outclassed at Doomben last week. He had found some form before that and can bounce back into the money in a more suitable field here. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lizzie's Pride can turn her form around in this. Each-way value.
