GOING: G(4)

RICHMOND CLUB MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 39)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.95)  

Genuine tempo from Gendarmerie leading One Last Shot. A race shaken up with three of the top four in early betting coming out. MISS SPACEGIRL (11) started favourite and got the job done on debut over 1200m at Canberra recently. Big step up today but she gets the ace run from gate one and is open to plenty of improvement. ONE LAST SHOT (3) returned with a tough maiden win over this course and distance four weeks back. Genuine gelding who has performed well in town so he is up to this rise in class. CANI CANCAN (4) drove hard late to just prevail when resuming over 1200m at Nowra last start. Two second-up runs have been failures which is the small niggle, but she looks well placed here and should be in the finish. GENDARMERIE (7) is back from a five-month spell. No wins from five first-up runs but in a race that has fallen away she is a top three chance on the back of a strong recent trial. CALGARY KING (6) caught the eye in the dying stages when returning over 1100m here last start. Big chance out to this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Spacegirl to win again.
