GOING: G(4)

MICHAEL KELLY BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.54).  

Strong tempo from the outset with It Begins leading the charge. STELLAR LADY (8) returns for the smart O'Dea & Hoystead partnership. Showed plenty of promise in her debut prep, winning smartly on debut and then following it up with a close minor placing in town. Trialled strongly in readiness and is the one to beat. XERRI (3) hasn't saluted in a long while but has found the frame in his last four. Drawn to advantage from the inside pillar and can be in this for a long way. INSPIRED DREAM (14) is ready to make her return after enjoying a successful prep last time in. Has ability and can make her presence felt. ROCK DIAMOND (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stellar Lady the one to beat.
