GOING: G(4)

SOLARIS GOLDEN MILE BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Wealthy Investor leading the way. REBEL'S EDGE (3) tough old gelding who turned in a strong performance first-up at Kempsey, then disappointed when sixth over 1400m at Newcastle. Proven at this distance and he gets map favours. Each way. DANCE DANCE DANCE (10) was a month between runs when back in grade and trip for a plugging fifth over 1400m at Newcastle. Fitter now and expecting more over the mile. WEALTHY INVESTOR (4) up to his preferred trip second-up when rolled forward for a sound third in the small field over 1600m at Gosford. Sure to be around the money. CHANGE THE DATE (8) starting to hit his straps and a win looks imminent. Gripped on late when third over 1620m at Grafton in a BM74. Good enough to find winning form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,10,4,8.
