CLUBS NSW COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True .  

Live To Rise, Enterprise Legend and This One Time to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. THIS ONE TIME (3) has been most impressive since returning from a long spell. Went within a whisker of a hat-trick of wins last start over this course and distance when coming off a six-week let-up. Better for that hit-out and is clearly the testing material. IRISH ARTHUR (18) made some late ground but didn't really threaten over 950m at Moree. Finding it hard to win but with plenty of pace up front he might prove hard to hold out over the slightly longer journey. SPANISH NIGHT (4) came from next to last on the corner in a small field to record an impressive win on debut last time out over 950m at Moree. Promising sprinter who has a far tougher assignment today but has plenty of scope for improvement. CALL ME TERRY (5) has been freshened up since failing in a Class 1 at Scone that has produced six subsequent winners. Capable of a big run if he brings his A-game. BRIGHELLA (10) wasn't far away at Scone last time and is in the mix despite a tough draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be with This One Time.
