TAB BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 19)   +1.5m 1000m-930m; True Remainder  

Very keen early battle. Open race to close out the card. TORQUE BOSSANOVA (10) won over this track and trip on debut before being tipped out for time to furnish. Has since blown out the cobwebs and a big run is expected second-up. SEIRYU (16) last start finished third over 1200m at Warwick, beaten 0.8 lengths at the end of last prep. In the mix fresh. TABULAM (4) ran on strongly to grab second last time out over 1200m at Toowoomba. Backmarker who keeps coming. Best form puts him right in this. GALLERY MASTER (21) returned from a spell last start with a solid third, beaten 1.1 lengths, at this track over 1000m. Hard to beat. SUGGESTED PLAY: Playing the exotics around 10,16,4,21.
