GERAN RACING BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1500m Track: GOOD 3 Rail: True. (Pent: 4.92). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Tempo strong with Scenic Rim and Van Gogh pushing forward. MORITZ GIRL (12) is an improver from a leading metro barn and is building a promising record. She is third up now and her NSW form reads extra well. Has weight relief and Damien Thornton is reunited. HALF CROWN (11) is genuine and his best is good enough. Peaks for this and goes wet and dry. Maps for the run of the race. DEMON DELIVERA (8) brings strong form overall form. Led unexpectedly at Ipswich last time as a firm favourite and it didn't work out. He will be looking to find cover today and should be right in it. MISHANI SPARTAN (2) just missed this grade at Toowoomba and will be fitter. The 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Moritz Girl.
