GOING: H(8)

AZURA BUILDING GROUP BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +12m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Moonan Quartz. BLITZWATER (6) was not far away last time out, finishing third over 1000m at Sunshine Coast Poly when she was prominent throughout. In the money at each of her runs over this longer journey and is perfectly placed to take this out. VOVO (8) returns from a spell of eight months and did win first-up last time in work over 1200m at this track. Will strip fitter following a recent trial win and expect her to pose a serious challenge. MOONAN QUARTZ (2) resumes here but does boast a win around this circuit and has revved up for this with two recent trials. Can run a race while fresh. ZOUSLAYER (12) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blitzwater to get a well-deserved victory.
