GOING: G(4)

THE BROTHERS WAR COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +4m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Genuine tempo from Sacred Mistress leading Washington. IT IS TO BE (12) is going better than his for reads and is a track and trip winner. Drops back in trip on short turnaround and has the ability to mix it with them. SACRED MISTRESS (7) has struck the definition of a purple patch. Was an impressive winner last time over 1610m at Sapphire Coast, scoring by 8 lengths to make it four straight wins. Can go on with it. SORRY SUNSHINE (3) was much better last start at Albury when chasing gamely into the placings. Is a winner over this track and trip and should be nearing his peak now fourth-up. TAUMATA (6) ran below expectations last time at Albury. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: It Is To Be each-way.
