GOING: S(7)

BARLENS HIRE BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 11)   +5m 800m-400m, +3m Remainder Cutaway Applies  

Plenty of early pace with Hulm and Starliv to vie for the lead, pressured by Toronto Rain and Crimosa. HULM (6) racing in career best form and can win again with the 3kg claim after turning in a dominant display when scoring by 3 lens over this trip at Seymour on June 16. Has the speed to get across from the wide gate and prove too slick for these. MIGHTY FEAT (9) tough gelding who turned in a much better showing when a close third over 1200m at Echuca in easier grade on June 13. Won this track and trip and will be in this for a long way. GOGOL (1) third-up today and won third-up in the past. Struggled in tougher company this time in and expecting more today with the 3kg claim. Can run into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hulm to win.
