INVERELL RAM / LIGHTNING RIDGE BOWLING CLUB BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 3.5m 1200m-350m. True Remainder.  

A solid tempo anticipated with Electric Evie and Royalz engaging in an early battle ahead of My Diamond Boy. INVADER'S GIRL (10) is holding her form well and a win looks imminent. Powered late from out wide when an eye-catching fourth over 1300m at Scone on June 11. Backs-up quickly and gets nice weight relief with the 3kg claim. STARPOPPY (13) back in trip for this after making up good ground late when a gritty sixth over 1600m at Moree on June 4. Lone win came over this trip and watch for her late. MY DIAMOND BOY (8) fitter for two runs back and gets all the map favours again from the good gate after finishing fourth over 1250m at Gunnedah on May 26. Baker rides again with the 3kg claim and expected to be in this for a long way. KALAHARI HEART (6) holding her form well prior to drawing out when a total forgive finishing eighth over 1300m at Armidale on May 28. Claim helps from the low draw and can take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,13,8,6.
