GOING: H(10)

Contract Engineering Benchmark 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: +5m 1700m-1500m, +7m 800m-400m, +6m Remainder.  

Expecting Prince Kuro to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SILVER CHAOS (2) made very light work of her rivals last start at Balaklava, booting away from them in the lane after racing in the leading division. Rock-hard fit now and can repeat the dose. TAHNEE TERRITORY (9) dug deep to get the verdict when resuming here last time in testing conditions. The subsequent form has stuck up strongly in 28 days, already producing 3 winners. Draws to get all the favours and looks the main danger. PRINCE KURO (6) has put two on the bounce in fine style when leading pillar-to-post. Is sure to spear across from the wide draw and give them something to catch again. ALOHA BLUE (10) was denied by a head to Tahnee Territory two back and now meets the winner 2kgs better. Can turn the tables. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Silver Chaos.
