GOING: S(5)

BAKEWELL HAULAGE 'WIN & YOU'RE IN THE 2025 KRAMBACH CUP' BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1614m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Nature Boy has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SPIRITLY (8) best form is over this trip and trained locally. Jumped quickly in distance when a plugging third over 2100m at Tuncurry in a strong rating contest. IMPERIAL HILTON (6) recent efforts have been below par and comes back to his preferred trip today. Struggled in the heavy going with the big weight when a plodding sixth over 2100m at Tuncurry. Desperate for the firmer deck and goes into the exotics. MISSION TO WIN (4) is shooting for a hat-trick of wins after scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1612m at Coffs Harbour on September 4. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. SEETHING CHUCK (11) has had two runs since a break, the latest a fourth over 1400m at Tuncurry, beaten 4 lengths. Fitter for recent racing. Place hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,6,4,11.
