GOING: G(4)

SKYDIVE AUSTRALIA: LEAP FOR LIFE CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +4m 1600m-400m cutaway applies, True Remainder.  

A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. MY SHAREENA (6) gave away a big start on the bend then flew late to be beaten less than a length when fresh from a spell over 1400m at Newcastle last start. Won her only race when second-up. Looks the one to beat stepping out to the mile. GLASTONBURY GIRL (5) made a late dive but just missed in a three-way thriller over 1400m at Newcastle last time out. Has raced once at this trip and was successful. Cherry ripe and looms as a genuine threat. BON FRANKIE (4) was looking for more ground last start when down the track over 1400m at the Kenso. Key runner on his return to the provincials at the fourth run of the prep. DEEPWATER ARTIST (2) won a similar race to this at Newcastle two back before a fourth at Canterbury more recently. Has his share of weight but looks sure to be thereabouts. On pacer MCADAM (1) has won three on the bounce and now goes up a touch in grade. Hard to knock. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing My Shareena and Glastonbury Girl.

Dual acceptor. Racing well recently. Last start 4th of 8 at Canterbury 3&4yo Bm64 on June 8 over 1550m, slow going 4 len behind Ballpark carrying 59kg at $4.20. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.7 len at Newcastle Cond Bm68 May 19 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Tanglewood Jimmy carrying 55kg at $4.20. Honest gelding with each-way claims.

The run before that 6th of 12 at Warwick Farm Bm72 on May 20 over 1300m, in the wet; 2 len behind Sanctified carrying 56kg at $31. Certainly worth another chance back at the provincials.

Strips fitter and this looks an ideal second-up assignment.
