GOING: G

Bet365 Benalla Gold Cup 2100m Track: GOOD 3 Clear (Max: 17) Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.32).
Genuine tempo with Aramco the likley leader. Waller-trained ARAMCO (6) switched from the Sydney barn and looked a run short at Moonee Valley back to the mile. His form stacks right up and he tumbles in weight. He can use the rails gate and will get every chance. MISSION OF LOVE (5) was good in Stakes grade at Eagle Farm and was beaten a lip in a rich Quality at the Sunshine Coast following. She came south and went close in a Flemington Open back 700m and freshened. She should be spot on for this and can fight out the finish. SUIZURO (1) will be sharper third-up. He will likely push forward, and his best would have him in the finish. Stablemate BRAYDEN STAR (3) is also third-up with more to give. He's won here over the trip and draws better after scratchings. TOO CLOSE THE SUN (4) hasn't won for an age but is capable on his day. Comes back in trip off a freshen and he's in premier yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Aramco.
