GOING: S(7)

BENGALLA CUP SUNDAY 28 JULY BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m 1200m-300m; Cutaway Applies; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Code In Time heading them off. CODE IN TIME (1) holding his form well for the Neasham yard and can bounce back in this easier contest from the good gate. Worked hard with the 59.5kg when seventh over 1300m at Kembla Grange on June 4. Extra distance suits and will take plenty of stopping. BANGETTA (5) placed this track and trip and fitter after three runs back. Made up good ground late from well back when fifth over 1400m at Taree on May 27. Will be powering late. BORROWED LUCK (12) trained on the track and looks close to another victory. Senior rider on here and will need plenty of luck from the wide gate. Has the numbers to run into the placings. SHOWBOAT (11) genuine type who finished eighth at his latest appearance over 1500m at Kembla Grange. In a suitable race and is one of the chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Code In Time to win.
