GOING: H(10)

SAWTELL GOLF CLUB COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1005m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1000m-350m, True Remainder.  

Cracking tempo with Speedy Target and Personal Space leading the way. FLYING SHELLY (1) scored over 1218m here first-up then struggled at Doomben last start in a much better race than this. Placed at three of five runs over today's trip. Finds a pretty plain BM58 and she looks a big chance to return to the winner's list. OLUFSEN (2) raced handy but couldn't quite finish his race off over 1050m at Inverell last time out. Backs up nine days later over a slightly shorter trip which will suit. Should give a good account. SHE'S A WILD ONE (12) went close two back over a similar trip to this in heavy going at Port Macquarie. Disappointed most recently at Moree but a return to form is likely in this moderate affair. BRAZEN BRANDO (3) lines up for the 104th time. Racing very well on heavy tracks of late. Boasts a fine record over many seasons at this trip so he looks a solid each-way contender. LORD SEYMOUR (4) has performed well at both trips to Coffs Harbour this prep. One of the better hopes with the help of an inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks a nice race for Flying Shelly.

First-up tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.7 len at this track Bm66 June 3 over 1218m on a heavy track defeating Love Rat carrying 55kg at $3.70. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Doomben Bm70 on June 17 over 1200m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Nepravda carrying 55.5kg at $11. Willing to forgive the last run - can atone back in a country Benchmark.
