GOING: G(4)

PURSEHOUSE RURAL INCITEC PIVOT FERTILISERS BOGGABRI CUP BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 34)   Rail: True.  

Not My Problem should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. JUST JACKY (3) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when eighth over 1400m at Tamworth but now comes back a couple of notches and looks a good bet to turn things around. Has the ability to figure prominently. BIG SHOT LEGEND (9) finished third at Gilgandra two runs back but was less effective last time when sixth over 1400m at Tamworth. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. GLORYESS (6) was safely held when sixth over 1700m at Walcha, after a win at Tamworth at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Right race for Just Jacky.

Previously first up; ninth of 11 at Muswellbrook Bm66 November 3 2024 over 1500m, 7 len behind Galano carrying 55kg at $81. Doesn't look up to matching the top few here.
