GOING: G(4)

ALBURY FREIGHT DISTRIBUTION CENTRE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 2000m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace with Sir Sublime and Ozzy The Equaliser leading from Hells Spirit. DOC MARCH (3) improved sharply last time at Wagga when sent forward and digging deep to keep them all at bay. Gets help under the big weight with the 3kg claimer engaged and should look to push forward again. IT IS TO BE (4) chased hard behind Doc March last time at Wagga. Should be near his top now and gets a good chance to turn the tables. TIMELESS GRACE (10) doesn't win out of turn but is knocking on the door. Was well fancied last time but again found one better at the Sapphire Coast. Drawn awkwardly but keeps Boudvillain and is worth another chance. HELLS SPIRIT (6) also comes through the Doc March race and boasts a good record on the home track. Keeping on side. SUGGESTED PLAY: Doc March can win again.
