GOING: S(6)

MITTYS BENCHMARK 90 Handicap 1800m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 6.69)  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Mississippi Prince may lead the way over Raf Attack. DIABLO BOLT (2) grows a leg for hoop Guthmann-Chester who has five wins and a placing from just seven steers. Strips fitter second-up from the spell and is yet to taste defeat in three spins around this circuit. Rates the leading contender. RAF ATTACK (4) has been competing in much harder NSW contests and will find this task a bunch easier. Draws low for Maloney and can make his presence felt. MISSISSIPPI PRINCE (3) has the pace to sit up on speed and should give backers a sight. ZOOLOGY (5) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Diablo Bolt to return to form.
