GOING: S(7)

HIBERNIAN HOTEL BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 5.42)  

Far Too Hot has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. Competitive. DEVILS DAUGHTER (4) was tracking well before tackling longer and stronger at Hawkesbury, offering little. She will be sharper in this grade and back to a mile. Maps better, and the 3kg claim brings her right into it. CHEBICI (2) won again, stepping up to this trip at the Sapphire Coast. She will enjoy a soft run and has a decent chance of delivering the hat-trick. GREY SECRET (7) is up to this, and will be better for the first-up outing in a Kembla Grange 64. Carries more weight at this level, but she won here only second-up outing and stripping fitter she will get her chance. MIDNIGHT AFFAIR (8) disappointed at parks but was around the mark her two runs prior in stronger than this. In good hands, and she has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Devils Daughter each-way.
