GOING: G(4)

IT'S TAB TIME CG&E BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1460m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Ken'ker heading them off. A good contest to finish the program. UNDER THE HOOD (2) led and was safely held beaten 3L over 1500m at Goulburn in stronger after being in the firing line on the turn. That followed a comfortable win at Nowra, also at CL2 level. Carries more weight but is well-paced to bounce for an in-form Goulburn yard. KEN'KER (1) started at a short quote over a mile at Goulburn and lost the rider soon after the start. He'd threatened there and at this track the two outings prior and is on a 5-day return. Keeps Owen and is a big threat. TILLMAN (8) is on a 7-day return and can build on his country win in this grade. Draws out, as does THAT A BOY (4), and assess his chance on the comfortable first up win here this grade/trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Under The Hood.
