GOING: H(9)

QUBE AGRI NARROMINE BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Strong tempo with Foxstorm and Party Prophet leading from Let Rip and Moden. MODEN (12) ploughed through the heavy (8) going when a sharp maiden winner over 1270m at Taree. Can go on with it here with Quince's 3kg claim from the inside draw. PODCAST (4) resumed with an eye-catching third over 1200m at Dubbo with the 60.5kg. Further improved and looks to have come back in good order. LET RIP (7) went forward from the good draw when scoring at start ten with a dominant win over 1400m at Dubbo. Will need luck from the gate but is in with a place chance. BATTLE REIGN (9) went forward last time and broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at Tuncurry. In the mix and the 2kg claim will help her cause. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moden each way.
