GOING: H(8)

NUTRIEN AG SOLUTIONS BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1300m Track: HEAVY 8 Clouds (Max: 14) Rail: Out 4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.
Look for a strong early tempo with Musical Affair setting the tone from an outside draw. FLETCHLO (6) tackled a Bm82 over 1400m at Dubbo last start and found it a bit rich. Won consecutive races in April at Class 3 and 4 level which is the right form for a race like this. Expect a return to something like his best today. MACLEAY (8) is also back in class after failing in open company over the mile at Gunnedah last time out. Freshened up and back in his right race today so he is a strong chance with the aid of the inside gate. BOONGARRA GIRL (11) led by a big space and looked home but was swamped late in a Bm74 over 1400m at Wellington recently. Will be hard to toss back to her pet distance in a slightly weaker race. MUSICAL AFFAIR (2) has won three of her last five and cannot be ruled out despite a poor gate. BROGANS CREEK (5) is at his best over this distance so he is a contender despite a big weight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fletchlo to win the last.
