WESTS ILLAWARRA BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m 1100m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Cheval Savant leading the way. COLOURS OF AUTUMN (3) underrated mare to starting to hit her straps. Created a big impression at the latest when a commanding 3.5 len winner over 1350m at Newcastle on September 3. Waddick rides again with the claim, and she will relish the extra ground. FOOLISH (12) nice win two back before getting out late when sixth over 1350m at Wyong on September 1. Can race a little closer and not without top three claims. CREAM RISES (7) trained on the track and looks close to his top. Went out hard before fading late when sixth over 1400m at Hawkesbury on September 7. Will go forward again from the low gate and prove hard to run down. CHEVAL SAVANT (1) staying type resuming from a five-and-a-half-month break. Has the one trial in readiness for this and watch for him late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Colours Of Autumn to win.
