GOING: S(5)

EVERGREEN TURF AUSTRALIA BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 4.9).  

Griffinstown Girl can set a good tempo. Matt Dale-trained FIELD THE MOMENT (2) has switched from a leading Adelaide barn on a 29-day freshen. She has strong pieces of form in better grade and the 1.5kg claim is handy. She must be pleasing the stable. SUCCESSFUL (5) also finds easier. She wasn't beaten far first-up and had threatened twice at the provincials prior. She has an awkward gate but has been kept on the fresh side and should be right in it. GRIFFINSTOWN GIRL (10) is a speedy local who needed the first-up outing over a short course. She has more to give and gets in light with the 3kg claim. KIRKUK (1) impressed first-up winning a Hawkesbury Maiden at long odds. He tackled the Hawkesbury Guineas after and was outgraded. This suits much better and he will get every chance from an inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Field The Moment appeals most.
