GOING: H(10)

XXXX GOLD COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Looks a decent tempo with Nikody's Binks, Miss Dee Reign and I'm Super leading the charge. ODE SO MUCH (2) rewarded for his consistency third-up is with a fast-finishing victory over 1300m at Scone with the 58.5kg. Looks to have further upside from the right gate with Dalton retaining the ride. hard to hold out. MISS DEE REIGN (9) jumped in trip second-up when raced on the speed for a courageous third over 1300m at Scone. Will take catching from the draw and proven in the going. Set to peak. NIKODY'S BINKS (12) passed fit to race, then took control early before he dropped right out to finish last over 1509m at Port Macquarie. Just over five weeks between runs heading into this and assess on the big win at Port Macquarie three-back. Improver. MOSGIEL DAISY (6) drifted back from her wide draw last start then hit the line hard to score over 1300m at this track. Measures up nicely and the blinkers come off. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ode So Much and Miss Dee Reign can fight it out from their low gates.
