GOING: G(4)

PLUS FITNESS THURGOONA BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Keith should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. KEITH (6) has led but found one better late in the piece at his last couple of runs, both times over 1600m at this level. Gets in very nicely after the claim and coming back a touch in distance will help. Sure to give a tremendous sight again. CHIPSTAR (12) worked home evenly to finish fourth when resuming over 1200m at Canberra three weeks ago. Better placed at this distance so expect sharp improvement this afternoon. OKRA (15) produced a real eye-catcher last start when beaten just 0.6 lengths over the mile here after giving away a big start. Watch for him late again under the light weight. TIZSO FAB (3) is ready to peak after a couple of decent runs this prep over shorter journeys. TOUGH JAMES (5) wasn't beaten far at the recent Wagga carnival and should measure up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keith to grab a well-deserved win.
