GOING: G(4)

HOMEFRONT QTIS Three-Year-Old & Four-Year-Old BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 6.29)  

Genuine tempo with King Of Geraldine and That's Interesting pressing for the lead. BREEZIN' (6) is a consistent commodity who has hit the top-four in all five runs this preparation. Is yet to miss a drum in three spins around this circuit and has to be included in calculations. MISHANI EGO (2) has won two from three over this track and trip and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. Can run a bold race while fresh. BOLD ARTIC (5) is drawn to get a soft run in transit from the inside marble and has placed when first-up before. In the mix. JOY A PLENTY (3) was competitive in town last time out and should find this assignment a touch easier. Deserves respect from the Hansen stable. SUGGESTED PLAY: Breezin to get a well-deserved victory.
