GOING: G(4)

TOOHEYS NEW BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 2020m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

A strong tempo is assured with Spill The Secret and Captain Insano leading the charge. CAPTAIN INSANO (5) broke the maiden status in dominant fashion last time out and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Can go right on with the job now with Tilley staying on board. PIERRE CARDINNIGAN (2) is two from two here on his home circuit and must be respected from the Dunn barn. Top-three credentials on best form. SPILL THE SECRET (1) is drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley and makes some appeal. AU REVOIR (8) will be rock-hard fit for this staying test and gets Wheeler on top from a favourable draw. Has to be included in calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Insano each-way.
