GOING: H

Sportsbet Fast Form Benchmark 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: +6m 1450m-900m Incl 1500m Chute, +5m Remainder.  

Expecting Eclair Vitality to lead Sacred Chord at just a moderate tempo. Decent race. TRANTORO (9) bolted in to win a similar contest last start and, with the likelihood of the same conditions, there's no reason she can't repeat the dose. Todd Pannell goes on and she looks the clear top seed. GILMORE (7) is ready to win after two pleasing runs this preparation, including a narrow defeat on a heavy track in town last start. She'll run a big race. IMPENDING DIAMOND (10) loves it wet and gets back to the scene of her dominant win earlier in the campaign. He doesn't win out of turn but KUSHAN KHANIVALE (2) must be included, as should the improving ECLAIR VITALITY (1), who gets a useful claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Trantoro to win and having a 1x3 play on Impending Diamond.
