GOING: H(8)

WOOLGOOLGA SEAHORSES RL CG&E BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1005m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m 1000m-350m, Cutaway Applies, True Remainder .  

Abundant pace from Speedy Target, Mawsons Expedition and My Diamond Boy vying for the lead with La Cache A Vin on their backs. ABRAZEN LAUGH (13) found a Class 3 at Grafton last start a bit rich. Tackled a similar race to this two back at Inverell where he caught the eye late after an awkward getaway. Placed two from three runs here and gets his chance to break a long win drought. TELEGRAPH (1) was fresh from a thirty-nine-day break when the barnstorming winner of a BM66 at Taree last time out. Talented sprinter who has his share of weight coming back in grade but should be right in the finish again. SOOBOOCO (2) returned to form last start when runner-up in a Class 3 over 1125m at Grafton. Hasn't won for twelve months and has a few things against him today but can't be ignored now that he is back on track. FAST FUSION (5) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and this is his pet trip so must be considered. GOLDEN GALAXY (16) was easily accounted for by Telegraph last time but that run followed a let-up so there is improvement in store. SUGGESTED PLAY: Abrazen Laugh each-way.
