MORETON HIRE BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1110m Track: Soft 5 Clear (Max: 23) Rail: True Entire Course.. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot tempo expected from Chalice Well and Surprise Honey. STAR AMBITION (8) started the campaign in good order with back-to-back NSW victories before being thereabouts in both Eagle Farm outings since. Will be rock-hard fit for this and gets Maloney on board from a favourable draw. Plenty to like about his prospects. COSMO CENTAURUS (6) resumes here but is two from two when first-up and revved up for this with two recent trials. Can run a race while fresh. SURPRISE HONEY (2) has strung two wins together on the bounce and it's hard to discount mares in form. Has to be included with the 3kg claim. GUAC ON (17) has won over this track and trip and looks to be back in good order, winning both trials in preparation for this. Keep very safe. CHALICE WELL (13) grows a leg for rider Brooker who has three wins and a placing from just five rides. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Star Ambition to return to the winners' stall.
