GOING: G

Max Services Benchmark 56 Handicap 1396m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Star Decorum to set a strong early tempo joined by Harbouring pushing on from an outside draw. LITTLE RICH BOY (5) bounced back to form last start when finishing in the placings at Casterton. Steps out in trip on the quick back-up and is rated one of the main players in what is seen as a positive scenario. RICHED (2) disappointed here last start when outside the money but has been ticking along superbly prior. Willing to forgive. BONJOUR DE GAULLE (7) dug deep to fend off his rivals a score by a head here last start. Fitter again and could repeat the dose from the advantageous inside pillar. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Little Rich Boy to win.
