GOING: G(4)

GORDON'S GIN Fillies and Mares BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1350m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Family Of League to take charge ahead of I'lltellyouso at a strong tempo. FAMILY OF LEAGUE (1) resumes here but was in consistent form prior to the spell and does boast a win over this distance range. Gets 2kg off with the claim and can run a big race while fresh. ECHO HUNTER (6) has been thereabouts at the past few outings and will be rock-hard fit for this. Has to be included in calculations. RESOLUTE LADY (4) was well in the betting at the latest effort and didn't let backers down with a solid Kilcoy victory. In the mix on that sort of form. BRODIES VOYAGE (5) is another who gets 2kg weight relief and rounds out the selections in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Family Of League to return a winner.
