BENGALLA CUP SUNDAY 26 JULY BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1280m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: +4m 1200m-300m Cutaway applies .  

Genuine pace with Shoutaboutit finding the front from her low draw. OAKFIELD UTAH (9) progressive gelding who jumped in class second-up and never handled the heavy (9) surface with a tiring fourteenth over 1500m at Rosehill in Highway class. Comes out of a solid rating race first-up at Scone and can return to winning form. INDI SPRINGS (7) nice filly heading in the right direction. Strengthened over the break and showed good early speed from the wide gate with a slick on-pace win over 1250m at Gunnedah third-up. Down in the weights and can handle this grade. READY AND LUCKY (5) due for a change of luck and has a good record here. Savaged the line when third over 1400m at Newcastle in BM64 class. Tricky map today and will need luck. Each way. ANDALE ANDALE (2) building a good winning CV and relished the class drop with a comfortable victory over 1200m at Warren. Went under narrowly here three-back in this grade and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oakfield Utah can return to winning form.
