GOING: H(8)

CLARENDON TAVERN MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1800m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +5m 1100m-450m, True Remainder .  

Expecting Sunset Park to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. CASH ME (1) kept his good second-up record intact when improving sharply with the 59kg to get up late over 1500m at this track. Proven at the trip and Chambers' claim keeps her in the contest. BLESSTAS (6) down in the weights with the claim after resuming with a commanding win over 1650m at Moruya. Can go on with it now and will have little trouble running a strong 1800m. Sure to be thereabouts. THIS IS THE MOMENT (2) another from the Mitch Beer yard due for a change of luck. Was a month between runs when he finished hard for a narrow second over 1660m at Moruya. Fitter now and has genuine top three prospects. SUNSET PARK (3) improving stayer who worked hard on resumption from the wide gate when a plugging fourth over 1300m here. Undefeated second up and desperate for this trip. Value chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,6,2,3.
