GOING: S(5)

CAMERONS HARDWARE BATEMAN'S BAY CUP - BENCHMARK 66 HCP 1650m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo anticipated with Mr Metrics and Ken'ker engaging in an early battle ahead of Tillman and Burrowa. HURRICANE CONI (11) backs up six days after a decent effort to finish fifth over 1400m at Canberra. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and he is a winner here at this distance. Ready to find some form. MR METRICS (1) was handy on the corner but couldn't keep going last time out over 1400m at Hawkesbury at the second run of the prep. Boasts two wins and a placing from three third-up runs. Bolted in at his only visit to Moruya. Definite contender. SPRITELY EMILY (4) has recorded two nail-biting wins on the bounce, both over the mile here. Stepping up in grade but this veteran mare looks up to the task. TILLMAN (10) had been working up to a win and it came last start in a BM58 over 1400m at Nowra. Tougher assignment today but he draws a lot better and drops 2kgs. In the mix. ENCOMPASS (5) hasn't won for a while but his latest effort over this trip at Goulburn was encouraging. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Hurricane Coni and Mr Metrics.
