GOING: H(10)

SUBLIME ALUMINIUM & GLASS SOMERSBY SPRINT MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Lots of speed predominantly from Are Ee Que, Stratafy and Zoe Shark. Speedy mare ARE EE QUE (5) has been making her own luck out in front and the results speak for themselves. Just failed to hold on last start over 1100m at Gosford against the girls. Loves the wet and is sure to take some running down. EXECUTIVE DECISION (14) comes here following a four-week freshen up. Raced wide last time out in a run worth overlooking in a similar race to this. Draws the fence and will be hard to stop when produced. ELEGANT EMPRESS (6) won a BM64 in heavy going at Newcastle two back then didn't quite measure up in town more recently. Big chance back in her right race today. SUNDAY TYCOON (8) made late ground to get up for second over this course and distance last start. Kept fresh and is only third-up today so he should at least hold that form. DIVINE BENE (13) is in the mix coming back to the provincials off a 32-day let-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Are Ee Que to run them off their legs.

Form hard to fault. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 10 at Gosford F&M Bm64 on July 10 over 1100m, slow going head behind Divine Vicky with 58.5kg at $9.50. The run before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 9 at this track Bm64 on June 24 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Flame Of Hestia with 56.5kg at $16. The one to beat on the back of outstanding recent form.
