GOING: G(4)

LEVEL ONE WINE BAR & CELLARS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Good pace from Danish Hussar, Trust In Chad and My Inspiration. BELNERA (5) is as consistent as they come and finds another nice race to put her best foot forward. Never stopped trying last time at Wagga when chasing strongly into the placing on a track that favoured leaders. Only has to hold her form to be very competitive again. OSSIFIED (7) was a big improver second-up at Wagga when chasing gamely into third. Strips fitter third-up and keeps McDougall. Can give this a big shake. SAVAHAY (8) did enough to get the bob here two back, then caught the eye last time at Wagga when closing off strongly into sixth after settling a long way back. Likely to drift back again from the wide draw but can cause some grief late if they overdo it early. CAYMAN ISLAND (3) finds it tough to notch up his second win but his peaks measure right up. Has enough pace to offset the wide alley and is among the key chances. ANCHO (2) was a winner here fresh. Been struggling since but is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belnera to win.

At the latest run led to the turn then faded 10th of 13 at Wagga Bm58 on May 1 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Fourthtimelucky carrying 61.5kg at $16. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2 len at Gundagai Cl2 April 12 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Cossack Warrior with 56.5kg at $26. Better than last start so he deserves another chance.
