GOING: H(9)

Woolshed Inn Benchmark 62 Handicap 1100m

Track: HEAVY 9     Rail: True.  

Just a modest pace in store without noted speed runners engaged. Good race to finish the day. SUZIDO (1) is flying this campaign and can win again. She's a deserved top weight but she gets in well after Brooke King's 2kg claim. COOL THE JETS (3) relished the heavy conditions when winning easily in Victoria last start. Jyi Lukey has really got him figured out, and with the likelihood of a heavy track again, he looks the main danger. NURYS (7) is proving to be a frustration but the day you leave her out is the day she wins. She's got a big finish when things go her way. NANKEEN (14) can run well back in trip, while EL PASO CITIE (11) ran a blinder at a huge price in a stronger race last time and is worth consideration again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Suzido to win.
