GOING: S(7)

SCONE EQUINE HOSPITAL BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 10)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.8).  

I'm Not Slew and Courageous Queen all like to push forward. Patrika Gold has some pace. AQUARTER (7) was quite strong scoring at Muswellbrook off a break and has had some time to get over that run. Claim helps and he's one of the main chances. RESTRICTIONS (3) chased nicely when resuming behind a horse who has won again since. Well drawn and not out of this by any stretch. SUPER FREDS (16) has to be considered on his second behind Aquarter two runs back. Forgive last time. MORE THAN A STAR (9) and I'M NOT SLEW (2) are in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aquarter to win.
