GOING: G(3)

AUSTRALIA DAY LONG WEEKEND RACEDAY SUNDAY 25TH JANUARY BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 2000m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

He's Viral to take the lead and control the tempo. Tough. LISSARO (14) has been racing in stronger and measure up his chances on his nose defeat at the Gold Coast two starts back. May have to do it the hard way again, but finds the right race. SECURITY ADVISOR (1) had no luck at Kilcoy last time but won there this grade prior as a firm favourite. Needs a good ride, but the 3kg claim brings him right into it. BUDDY'S TALE (10) is another good enough on his day. Carries a feather with the 3kg claim and should be around the mark. CHANGE THE DEEL (2) had to contend with a wide alley at his latest run and finished out of the placings over 1800m at Gold Coast. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Lissaro.
