GOING: S(5)

MARABOON TAVERN QTIS BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True Entire Course.  

All Too Lucky should lead at a strong tempo. DALT JAZ (2) finished 3 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1000m at Townsville after being prominent at the corner two weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Good record at this journey with two wins and six minor placings from 11 starts and should prove hard to stop. ALL TOO LUCKY (9) scored a 0.8 length win on dirt at Blackall two back then followed up with a minor placing at Richmond Qld over 1200m two-and-a-half weeks ago. Expect she will continue the good form. BORN FEARLESS (5) has recorded five minor placings from nine runs this preparation. Finished 5 lengths from the winner in second at the latest outing over 1200m at Roma. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HARD TO DISMISS (12) finished 3.7 lengths back from the winner last start at Rockhampton and is down in weight this time. Rates among the leading chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dalt Jaz to bounce back.

Before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.9 len at Townsville Bm60 June 6 over 1000m defeating Canny Prospect carrying 60.5kg at $3.20. Not far away last time. Too good to dismiss and can do much better.
