GOING: H(8)

RIVERVIEW HOTEL BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1550m

Track: HVY8   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Just a modest tempo anticipated. INSINUATE (3) was an impressive winner two starts back before jumping a couple of grades and boxing on well to place. Back to right grade now and while drawn wide should be hard to hold out. RAINBOW LASS (5) is chasing a hat-trick after a couple of wins at Casino. Rises in trip but has drawn ideally to have her chance to run it out. MONASTERY (4) ran right up to some good support when resuming with a win at Ballina. Can only be better for that and extra trip a plus. Go well again. UNDER THE PALAIS (11) is raving well of late and has a show while OUR SPARKY (12) has a place chance on best efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Insinuate to win.

Most recently second last of 9 at Toowoomba Bm62 on June 7 over 1300m, slow going 14 len behind Katdeel carrying 57.5kg at $11. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn and won by a nose at Gold Coast Poly Bm58 May 17 over 1540m defeating Ambassadors with 61kg at $2.25. Can do better than latest and is worth another chance.

Will need some luck from the barrier but looks hard to beat.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Ballina Bm58 on June 12 over 1400m, in the wet; 2 len behind Monastery with 58.5kg at $3. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Doomben Cl3-Sw on June 4 over 1350m, slow going 4.5 len behind Castillian with 55kg at $101. Drawn to effect and is racing consistently so has to be considered.
