GOING: G(4)

CITY OF WOLLONGONG RSL SUB-BRANCH GALLIPOLI CUP BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Anticipate Let's Go Again, Jinsoku and Ronny Rock Art to set a strong tempo. LET’S GO AGAIN (9) has been thereabouts in two strong races coming into this. Back on home patch has genuine appeal. DIVINE VICKY (8) looks well weighted for a mare dropping back in grade. Two time winner at this venue with conditions to suit. HEADSTOCK (6) has had no luck with barrier draws at his past three starts but still finished close-up. On home soil with a cute draw can improve. DASHING RUPERT (1) had every chance second up and gets no weight relief. Upside type still in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Let’s Go Again win. Box quinella 9, 8, 6.
