GOING: G(4)

KILCOY EXCHANGE HOTEL BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Palatial Prince possessing enough dash to find the front. GAGNANTE ENCHERE (6) drops back slightly in trip here but maps favourably from gate two and gets in well at the weights with the 1.5kg claim. Will be rock-hard fit for this and can make her presence felt against this line-up. OYSTERCATCHER (11) was a dominant maiden winner over this course and distance last time out and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Rates a genuine top-three contender. GRANDEUR ROSE (18) best of the rest from the inside marble. LITTLE VISTA (2) has placed in two of his three runs so far this campaign. Should be peaking fourth run from a spell and gets a 1.5kg claim to offset the big weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,11,18,2.

Most recently failed to make an impression; 8th of 11 at Sunshine Coast Cl1 on August 17 over 1400m, 9 len behind Ninjitzou with 55.5kg at $13. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 9 at Doomben 3yo Hcp on July 30 over 1350m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Ten Good Reasons with 52kg at $81. Value appeal from a low gate with the claim.
