GOING: S(6)

GODOLPHIN TIARA BENCHMARK 74 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1450m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Princess Amira to lead One Beat No Beat at just a moderate tempo. ONE BEAT NO BEAT (5) handy filly undefeated at this track. Disappointed at the latest after failing to get into the contest when eighth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington on April 25. This looks more to her liking and reunites with regular rider. Sharp improver. AGNODICE (4) is racing in career-best form and lines up for the hat-trick today. Finished off strongly when a 1.3 len winner over 1400m at Armidale on April 15. Expected to be thereabouts again. THREETIMESALADY (7) drops in trip and weight today after finishing off strongly when over 1700m at Wellington on April 14. Gets map favours and can play a leading role again. PRINCESS AMIRA (2) goes well this trip and bounced back to form when a plugging third over 1350m at Wyong on April 11. Will handle the conditions from the good draw and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: One Beat No Beat to win.
