GOING: G(4)

STUART GORDON LANDSCAPING BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1175m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 36)   Rail: True.  

Foreman's Gully to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. Plenty of in-form runners come together but none are going better than COCO DE LUXE (10) who remains undefeated. Lined up for the second time last start in a Class 1 over this course and distance and won with a fair bit in hand. Beautifully drawn so there is every chance she will keep the ball rolling. DANCEENUFF (5) is in fine form this prep with a win and two placings, all at 1000m. Hitting the line hard so this step up in trip comes at the perfect time. WANNABEAPOODLE (14) came from nowhere to get up for second over 1000m here recently. Nicely placed out to 1175m and the $34.00 on offer this morning seems way over the odds. HIP HIP OLE (12) returns from a 12-week break for a second campaign. Closed the maiden prep with a couple of impressive wins over 1400m. Will improve off this run but she is too talented to leave out. THREE MUSKETEERS (7) is racing well but finding it hard to win. Gets a nice run from gate one and looks sure to be about the money again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Coco De Luxe.
