GOING: G(4)

CLARENDON TAVERN BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1100m-450m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.10)  

More Mischief should find the front with Think Romance and Heaven Bound on his heels. Tough contest to end the day. KYEEMA (1) deep into the prep and rewarded for his consistency at fourth run back when scoring over 1400m at Randwick Kensington. Gets a similar setup today and is capable of going on with the job with the weight rise. HEAVEN BOUND (6) trained on the track. Failed to get into the contest on resumption when sixth over 1550m at Canterbury in BM72 grade. Tackling a more suitable race and proven second up. Sharp improver. AUTUMN DREAM (4) well bred filly with upside who will relish the extra trip. Even return with the 61kg when third over 1400m at Newcastle. Winning rider hops aboard and has each way claims. TOMBA (3) another from the Archibald yard who showed plenty of ability last time in. Never comfortable on the heavy going first up when seventh over 1400m at Newcastle. Proven second up and the blinkers come off. Will appreciate the firmer track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kyeema to salute with fitness on his side.
