GOING: S(6)

TORONTO WORKERS CLUB CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Supreme Command leading from Spiv and Three Arrows. COSY CORNER (3) charged home to score over 1250m here in this grade two starts ago. Tackled a Midway over 1300m at Rosehill subsequently and produced a strong finish to be beaten under a length. Rock hard fit after three runs back and a return to the provincials might see a return to the winner's list. THREE ARROWS (5) raced wide and kept finding in the run home to be beaten just 1.5 lengths in a blanket finish over 1300m at Warwick Farm recently. Lightly raced three-year-old with plenty of upside. SPIV (12) backs up seven days after leading for home only to be swamped near the line in a 1350m Wyong BM64. Beautifully in after Small's claim - might be hard to catch. TACT (6) is a likely improver following a decent first-up effort here a fortnight ago. SUGGESTED PLAY: Like the chances of Cosy Corner.
