GOING: S(5)

TOTAL DIESEL REPAIRS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.90)  

Solid pace likely with Mihrimah prominent along with Kora Magic crossing from an outside gate. CANAMBLE (2) is unbeaten when first-up and arrives here with a close second in a trial under her belt. Has some weight but is the one to beat. CUMNOCK (4) will be fitter for one run back where he was in the market and not beaten too far. Look for an improved showing as his Highway form last time in was solid. NEVERMISTA (5) broke through for a maiden win first-up and while drawn out a little no reason he couldn't go on with it. TWILIGHT ROCK (1) has been placed in 11 of his 17 starts for just one win so can't be left out of the each-way hopes and D'ARPANO (10) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Canamble to win. Save on Cumnock.
