GOING: S(6)

TLE ELECTRICAL BENCHMARK 74 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Pace looks strong with Ferrari Girl leading the charge. KING GUTHO (9) caught the eye first-up at Wagga when rattling home into the frame in this grade. Comes in off a freshen (56 days) but has kept the legs ticking over with a smart trial on the home track. Yet to salute second-up but he looks ready to buck that trend. ROUGE LUNE (7) returns after enjoying a successful prep last time in when tackling some strong opposition. Is unbeaten over the track and trip but will need a smart steer from the ugly draw. FERRARI GIRL (13) wasn't far away from bringing up the hat-trick last start. Has a ton of early speed and will give backers a very bold sight. GORUSH LIGHTNING (1) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Gutho gets the nod.
