GOING: S(5)

TATE BROWNLEE REAL ESTATE BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True Entire Course. (Pent: 4.87)  

Despite the small field Platinum Lies, Woosh Ka Boom and Rafale Jolie can set a strong tempo. PLATINUM LIES (1) has led for the judge but been gunned down and missed the placings in her two runs this prep, both over today's distance. Down in grade and her third-up record reads well. Should be right there at the finish. ENHANCE (2) is a danger following an effortless maiden win first-up over this course and distance. Has always shown plenty of promise with seven minor placings prior to the breakthrough. Big chance again with the confidence soaring. EAGLE'S FIRE (5) returned to form at Lismore last start. Has placed three from six over 1000m here so he cannot be ruled out. RAFALE JOLIE (9) mixes her form but five furlongs brings out her best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Platinum Lies is ready to win.
