GOING: G(4)

BEETLE COLLINS CHARLEVILLE MEMORIAL Fillies and Mares BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.34)  

Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. MISS MERCY (11) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but go on the solid maiden win when resuming. Looks to have plenty of upside and a bounce back to form would not shock. CHALICE WELL (5) strips fitter third-up, draws low in gate two and gets 2kg weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. FREELAND (1) was thereabouts when having her first run for the new stable and will have derived some benefit from that hit-out. Top-three aspirations. NIGHTCAPPED (3) has a win and a second from two attempts over this course and distance and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Shapes as a leading contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 11,5,1,3.
