GOING: G

Thomas Farms Cup Benchmark 56 Handicap 900m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Broadway Lane and Hollow Turf should set a strong clip. HOLLOW TURF (3) is another speedy type on the short turnaround that will be looking to quickly offset his poor gate. Still lightly raced, so is open to improvement. WADAANA (11) is going better than her form suggests and boasts a strong record over this track and trip. Will just need some luck from the wide gate. Don't underestimate. ZATANNA (4) doesn't win out of turn but boasts peaks that measure up. Gets help with the claim and should give herself every chance again up on speed. Can play a role on the quick back-up. OCTAVIAN TREASURE (6) returns and makes her stable debut for the Seyers yard. Has NSW form that measures up well for this and has been readied with a solid jumpout. Don't underestimate. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hollow turf on top.
