GOING: S

Sportsbet Fast Form Benchmark 58 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 6.18)  

Strong tempo from Rich Lady, Sutadamu and Italian Informant. Interesting to see how SUZIDO (1) returns here for the new stable. She was brilliant over the summer when winning several races, although her form tapered off after that. She's earned top weight and if she brings her best, she's the one to beat. SIOUX WARRIOR (4) has been close in recent runs and, if things go right from the inside draw, he is an obvious threat. GOLD SPIRIT (3) looks progressive and can post back-to-back wins, while SIR LEAPALOT (6) can turn the tables on him for his narrow last start defeat. Happy to trust that form to stand up. STARTIDE (8) races best fresh so including her for the first-up record alone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Gold Spirit and Sir Leapalot each-way.

Comes here off a 40-day let-up. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 10 at Bordertown Bm62 on June 27 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Nurys carrying 59.5kg at $4.60. The start before that got back early 5th of 9 at this track 4yo+ Bm68 on June 7 over 1000m, slow going 4 len behind Grand Host carrying 59kg at $12. Certainly worth another chance with the new stable.
