GOING: G(4)

TRACSERV DUBBO AND ORANGE COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +3m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 4.90)  

Shaquila and Quick Onyx to take up the running at a strong tempo. UPWARDLY MOBILE (6) nice mare who resumes with a handy fresh record. Stretched out to the mile for the first time in the heavy (10) going when a dismal last over 1600m at Scone last March. Fitted with the one good trial and sets up well for this with the claim. Hard to hold out. PRESSNELL (5) raced without luck at his last two outings and winning rider back aboard from a better draw. Has a host of gear changes for this and better suited over this trip. Looks the main danger. SHAQUILA (8) raced without luck this campaign and has his hoof on the till. Has the speed to get over from the draw and take a hand in the finish. SAINT PHILOMENA (11) from the in-form Dar Lunn yard and progressing nicely through her grades. Back in trip and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Upwardly Mobile to assert her class.
