CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF WESTS ILLAWARRA CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +8m 1100m-W/Post, +6m Remainder.  

Only a small field with Mosgold likely to find a comfortable lead. AUDENZIA (6) all three wins have come on her home track and adept in all conditions. Stalked the speed before clearing out for a comfortable victory over 1600m at this track when a month between runs. Leading contender who can keep the winning momentum going. WILD THOUGHTS (5) progressive So You Think gelding who drops in grade after resuming with a plugging eighth on the Provincial Mid Champs over this at Hawkesbury. Unbeaten second-up and can bounce back. GRACEFUL ELLEN (7) demolished her rivals in similar company with a slick 2 len win at Orange in C4 grade over 1280m. Well placed again and shapes as a leading prospect. DUMEBI (2) returns from a 30 day let-up. Back in trip and will find this more to his liking after finishing ninth over 1600m at the Sapphire Coast in the Bega Cup. Maps well and can take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,5,7.
