GOING: G(4)

HS EXPRESS CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1350m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Strong tempo with Easiest Choice and Blue Dane leading from Bold And Blazen and Shoutaboutit. EASIEST CHOICE (2) came off a 46-day break and made it two wins from three runs this prep when she cruised to victory over 1300m here last start. Needs to go up a level now but with just four starts to her name there is plenty of scope for improvement. UNREACHABLE (4) has been handed a couple of tougher tasks since taking out an 1100m BM64 at Gosford three back. Perfectly drawn and looks pitchforked in with 54.5kgs after Stanley's claim. RED RAGS TO BULLS (7) has tackled three far stronger assignments this time in work and the job is made harder by her getting so far back in races. Loads of pace on paper today so that combined with a drop in grade should spark some improvement. GLASTONBURY GIRL (13) charged late but just came up short when resuming over 1400m at Hawkesbury recently. Not drawn the best but is one to watch for in the dying stages. BOLD AND BLAZEN (5) has been thereabouts at his last couple but can do better today from a more favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Easiest Choice to win the last.
