TAB HOLLINDALE STAKES DAY MAY 10TH BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1800m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +5m 1000m-W/Post, +4m Remainder. (Pent: 4.84)  

Roman Heir and Red Mile will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. The stayers close out the program. TIETAR (9) has been heavily supported in all three runs this preparation but has just run into a few better. Will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell and gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim. Looks the one they all have to run down. KATDEEL (1) has just missed the placings at the past couple and has placed two from two over this trip. Another to get some weight off and can certainly play a role in the finish. SAN JOSE BOY (8) has hit the top-four in six of seven career efforts and must be respected from the Bruce yard. Top-three candidate. BACKLIT BEAUTY (6) has won two of her past three including one over this course and distance last time out. Include from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 9,1,8,6.
