LADBROKES OWNERS PROMOTION BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Dubawi's Girl to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. BOLD CHANGE (2) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1200m at Rockhampton, beaten 3 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FOUR LEAF WONDER (4) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1560m here, making it two minor placings in a row. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. THE KOBAY TRAIN (9) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has two placings from four runs this prep, finishing 2.5 lengths away in second most recently over 1300m at this circuit. In the mix again. MISSISSIPPI DREAM (8) hit the frame two starts ago at Home Hill but ran below par last time when sixth and beaten 6 lengths over 1200m at this venue. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Bold Chance.
