GOING: H(9)

RANVET BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

The Wolf, Gail Jeanette and Apollo Ridge to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. SMILING PROPHET (12) has good credentials over this track and trip and will appreciate the fast tempo with the senior rider going aboard fourth-up. Back in trip and launched late with a creditable sixth over 900m at Newcastle. No shock to see her finish over the top of these. GAIL JEANETTE (9) smart Bathurst-trained mare building a good winning CV. Up sharply in grade with a slick on-pace win over 1000m at Dubbo in fast time. Deserves her shot here and not without place prospects. THE WOLF (1) comes to the provincials for the first time this campaign after running second over 1010m at Port Macquarie. Will roll forward and give cheek with the 2kg claimer aboard. INDECISIVE (3) improving gelding who demolished a handy field in C1 grade over this track and trip second-up. Has a stack of upside and out wide could be the best part of the track at this stage of the day. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 12,9,1.
