GOING: S(5)

TLE ELECTRICAL BATEMANS BAY BENCHMARK 74 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a modest tempo established by Capital Heart who can cross from the outside draw. DONWON (11) was an easy Maiden winner at Gosford and then went back and wasn't too far away in a CL1. Ryan takes over from the apprentice and he maps for a soft run. Suited this grade and can bounce back. CAPITAL HEART (9) led and won a CL3 at the Sapphire Coast first-up and then went back and dropped right out (vet cleared). Best to forgive that and Heywood stays aboard and will push forward. He has more to give and it's hard to risk the barn. CANI CANCAN (7) resumes and has won 2/4 fresh. She's back in grade and she can secure a soft run. Has pieces of form that would see her in the finish. MISS STALWART (12) turned the form around winning a 66 at the Sapphire Coast and she did it well. She has to be considered on that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Donwon looks well placed.
