GOING: G

Stall Gate Kiosk Benchmark 68 Handicap 1150m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace with Thoros Of Myr and Stars In The Night up front, pressured by Exalted Crown and Furneaux. THOROS OF MYR (3) just missed twice before leading and winning this grade/trip comfortably. He keeps improving and can go on with the job. FURNEAUX (2) brings decent Hobart form and the leading jockey stays aboard. Maps for a soft run and can fight out the finish. WARICA (6) is also racing well and placed second behind the top selection last time. Has a low barrier today and can get closer. CORNELIAN BAY (8) got too far back in the same race but ran a strong number prior when nudged out by the above. He has to be included as well. GEEGEE JET BY (1) will be around the mark again if things go his way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Thoros Of Myr.
