GOING: G

Hallett Group Benchmark 58 Handicap 1200m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 22) Rail: True.
Liberty Blue and Edgy Era should lock horns early at a strong clip. RICHED (7) was only 1.6L away over 1100m at Clare last start and rates well off that effort. He's been placed at this track and trip previously and Sairyn Fawke hops back in the saddle having won five times when riding. Everything points to a forward showing. LIBERTY BLUE (1) has been racing well up in the NT and has placed 4/5 at this course and distance. The 4kg claim comes in handy as he's right back in grade today. Tricky draw, but he's sure to be in the finish on recent efforts. ALL CLUBS (8) wasn't disgraced in his stable debut here a fortnight ago, laying the platform to build on. Alan Lai takes the ride this time and claims 3kg and he strikes at 22% at this track. Can be flooding home late. ROCK HARD (5) will need some luck from the draw but is in the mix if he runs to form. TANE TOA (11) is best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Riched lands on top.
