TNR CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1526m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 2.5m 950m-300m. Out 1.5m 300m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Badgers Nuts and Serenade The Cat will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. VETOED (13) was impressive winning first-up at Grafton then got too far back last start over the mile at Doomben but did work home well. Ideally placed and should be spot-on at the third run back. SPILL THE SECRET (6) wasn't beaten far two runs back over 1350m at Ipswich then struggled on a heavy ground at Murwillumbah last time. Will appreciate firmer footing today so he deserves another chance. I AM GOOD AT THIS (3) hasn't threatened in two runs this prep over shorter journeys. Strips fitter and has won 2/2 at this distance, including a 5.1 length romp at Murwillumbah last campaign. No surprise if he took this out. Rising seven-year-old DAEDALUS (9) is flying this prep, recording a second win from three outings over this trip at Murwillumbah last time. Getting up in the weights but he races well here and is hard to knock. BADGERS NUTS (5) was rolled at $1.45 last start at Beaudesert. Fitter for two runs back and cannot be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Good race. Leaning to Vetoed on an each-way basis.
