GOING: S(6)

DUBBO RSL CLUB WINTER COUNTRY CLASSIC FINAL BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m 900-400 True Remainder.  

Solid tempo headed by Yiasou and Jenni Divine. KELILAH (6) three weeks between runs when she ploughed through the heavy going to score a surprise win over 1300m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Gets weight relief with the claim and no reason she cannot salute again. JAMACRI (8) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Indicated a win was imminent two-back, then landed the prize as favourite over 1400m at Warren in easier company. Senior rider hops aboard and gets her chance in this vein of form. JENNI DIVINE (12) mixing her form and backs-up quickly after she failed to make an impression on the heavy (10) surface with a dismal twelfth over 1200m at Wagga. Placed here two-back and can make amends on a firmer track. GREEN PINEAPPLE (7) found form at his last three runs and should get his required tempo from the low gate. Firmer surface helps and has solid each way claims. AILYAK (2) eye-catching return with the big weight and looks set for a good prep. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,8,12,7.
