GOING: G(4)

QUEANBEYAN CUP 28 NOV BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1460m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +3m 900m-275m, Cutaway Applies.  

Good pace from Lord Finland, Geostorm and Ken'ker and they'll have company. LADY REVOLUTION (5) led narrowly beaten at Moruya first-up and then started at double-figure odds at Bathurst and raced accordingly. She will be better for that and finally draws an inside gate. She's in a sharp local stable and is ready to find her best. THAT A BOY (4) resumes at home and flies at the track/distance. Owen sticks aboard from a trial at Moruya and expect him to be on song and in the finish. ARANCIONE (3) will be much more competitive than the form line suggests. She's been close-up at Moruya her last two and positions forward. Has won this track/distance and has claims. LORD FINLAND (1) is in a smart Canberra yard and it won't surprise if he shows more. Maps for a soft on-pace run, and the 2kg claim is handy. GEOSTORM (9) races forward and has gone close at Bathurst and Wellington most recently. He will run along from the inside barrier, and Cahill is a positive jockey booking. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Lady Revolution.
