GOING: S(7)

TLE THANKS SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC F&M BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Cracking tempo with Luna Angel and Ocean Chill leading the way. Snowden-trained DIVINE SECRETS (3) has won 2/3 this preparation and did it easily over this trip and Canberra 13 days ago. Maps for a soft run and rates to go right on with it. Tougher sorting than the rest. OCEAN CHILL (5) resumes off a heavily bet win over 1450m at Muswellbrook. Placed at Gosford prior and will keep improving for a top metro stable. Has the rail and a small claim and has two trials in the tank. WINNER OF KOWLOON (1) resumed here as favourite, beaten 3L and didn't have the best of it. Has a strong record at the track and is sure to have come on. The niggle is an outside barrier. BABY HAZEL (2) was only beaten 1.4L over 1400m at Newcastle this grade and maps well enough. Can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Divine Secrets to win.
1 513x4 WINNER OF KOWLOON
