GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Fast Form Fillies & Mares Benchmark 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 7m Entire. Out 4m 1200m Chute.  

Dare To Be Free is the likely leader at a slick tempo. EL PASO CITIE (2) has been thereabouts in her debut prep, scoring at just her second start. Leading hoop in Toeroek pilots and is big chance to win again. LUNASHA (1) has returned in good form this campaign, picking up the two wins from her three runs. Expect her to drift back from the wide alley and be charging hardest late. SHE SPARKLES (5) is ready to make her return after enjoying a successful debut prep. Strips fitter for a soft Balaklava trial in readiness. Expecting her to feature. HATEECH (15) was denied a head last start at Balaklava in a slightly easier grade. Is 1/1 over the course and distance and has Holder sticking. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: El Paso Citie gets the nod.
