GOING: S(6)

BOB BEVAN COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1175m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3.5m 1600m-W/Post.  

Genuine pace. ALL ASTERN (2) sound return over this track and trip when she stalked the pace to go under in a tight finish when second on June 7. Undefeated second-up and should prove too strong for these today. CHAMPAGNE SHARON (3) disappointed as fav when dropped out sharply to finish seventh behind All Astern at latest. Well drawn again and senior rider on today. WANALOAN (10) snagged back from the wide gate and failed to get into the contest when eighth over this track and trip on June 7. Low gate helps with the claim. MAGMETRIC (1) disappointed as fav when returned with a fading eighth over 1200m at Wagga on June 17. This looks easier and placed second-up in the past. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: All Astern to win.
