GOING: G(4)

WALSH & BLAIR COUNTRY MAGIC BENCHMARK 74 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo, primarily from Tommy Flyer and Major Time. It sets up beautifully for Tommy Berry aboard MOOR MUMM (16) in the last on Cup Day. She’s been super in her first two runs for the Dale yard and should be at her top now. Berry should have her blending in at exactly the right moment. NEESON (20) is a progressive gelding resuming for the Seib camp, fitter for two sharp trials and drawn to get every favour. Expect him to make his presence felt. SARGEANT STAN (14) drove through and fought hard to score at Wodonga last start. This is tougher, but he’s in the zone and the switch to Schiller is positive. ATMOSPHERIC ROCK (18) often leaves himself with too much to do, but there’s no doubting his turn of foot. If Schofield can have him within cooee, he’s a live chance. PLEASURIZE (8) was a strong winner fresh and should give herself every opportunity again rolling forward. A genuine each-way hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moor Mumm the one to beat.
