GOING: S(6)

TEAMWORK TROPHIES F&M BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace likely from Candy Women, Shoutaboutit and Indefensible battling for the lead from Broadway Follies. MAGICAL MOMENTS (4) progressive filly resuming who looks primed for this from the good gate. Progressed nicely last prep and the two recent trials should have her forward enough for this. PARIAH ENGAGEMENT (9) not far away second up when seventh over 1200m at Kembla Grange in a good rating race. Gets weight relief with the claim and the blinkers go on. Improver. BROADWAY FOLLIES (2) another from the Bjorn Baker stable who returns from a let-up. Proven at this level and kept up to the mark with a 900m tick over trial. Goes close. CANDY WOMEN (8) form dropped off last prep and goes well fresh. Strong through the line when third in a 900m Rosehill trail. Can take control early and play a leading role. CELESTIAL BREEZE (13) sharp maiden victory at her second run back and has the figures to go on with the job. Value prospect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,9,2,8.
