GOING: S(5)

BLAKES MARINE BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m 1100m-450m, True Remainder .  

Off the low draw Purple Rose should lead at a genuine tempo. Tricky race to end the day. CALL ME SASSY (13) has yet to finish out of the money in her seven career starts and expected to go one better today. Just over six weeks between runs when she closed late for a sound second over 1200m at Newcastle. Maps well and strips fitter for this. Expected to go close. WHOA NELLIE (7) progressive filly. Failed to make it three straight wins when she had excuses from the wide gate for a respectable sixth over 1500m at Randwick in stronger class. Tricky gate again and not without top-three prospects. DIACON (14) capable filly ready to win third-up. Savaged the line with the 59kg to secure third over 1200m at Wyong. Has bright prospects from the good gate. PANIC (5) holding his form on the country tracks and brings a solid set of figures with the 3kg claim. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 13,7,14,5.
