GOING: S(6)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMIE SIMPSON BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m 1000m-300m, True Remainder .  

Sagaponack, Pee Dee and This One Time to match motors but there will be other pressure. THIS ONE TIME (2) made it back-to-back wins when she saluted last start at Dubbo, taking her record over this distance to two from four. On the up and has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Can deliver again. SAGAPONACK (7) is a filly of promise having scored at her last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths at this track and trip as favourite. Gets the same draw again. Could continue to work her way through the grades. ARDONAUGH (1) finished fifth over 950m at Moree when resuming last start, beaten only 1.8 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a good run. SO ROSIE (4) was putting it together at the end of last campaign and has trialled. Keep safe fresh. BRIEFLY (9) could progress off the fresh placing. SUGGESTED PLAY: This One Time to land the hat trick.
