GOING: G(3)

WARREGO WATER BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. (Pent: 6.10)  

Anticipate Yes I'm Ugly, Winchman and Green Park to set a strong tempo. WINCHMAN (1) was heavily supported at Warwick last time out and didn't let backers down with a strong 1.3L victory. Winning rider Fergusson-Smith sticks in the saddle and again gets the benefit of her 4kg claim. Looks the one they all have to run down. MA'S EPIC (2) strips fitter second-up from the break and is usually thereabouts. Looms as the main danger. MISHANI PERSUASION (3) is yet to miss a quinella spot in three spins around this circuit and will be better for that first-up hit-out. Top-three contender on best figures. YES I'M UGLY (8) doesn't know how to run a bad race and is a must for the multiples. ALFA LILLY (9) best of the rest from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Winchman to go back-to-back.
