FIREBALL CINNAMON WHISKY MIDWAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +2m 800m-400m, True Remainder . (Pent: 5.28)  

Looks a solid tempo with Just Awesome finding the front. Tricky contest to end the day. JUST AWESOME (2) rewarded for his consistency third-up with a slick on-pace victory over 1000m at Kembla Grange with the 59kg. Has further upside heading into this and should run the trip from the low draw. TESSY TEE (13) returned excellent closing splits first-up with a narrow fourth over 1100m at this track. Can go on with it this campaign and will relish the fast pace. Leading top-three prospect. KISS GOODNIGHT (11) progressive filly who sat on the fast tempo first-up with a narrow second over 1100m at this track. Key jockey change and has the ability to go one better. AUTUMN BLONDE (7) resumes after racing in Group 2 grade last prep. Returns with the one trial and a host of gear changes. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,13,11,7.
