Narrandera Tips July 31
Romanos Hotel Riverina Cup Prelude – Benchmark 74 Handicap – Heat Of Wagga Stayers Series Tips (Race 1)
Narrandera Value Bet - Race 1 No. 6 Sorry Sunshine
His last win came two starts back at Wagga over 1400m, which was contested on a Heavy 10.
Sorry Sunshine came home over a length clear of his rivals when competing in a Benchmark 58 handicap via that July 7 success.
He finished strongly on that occasion, with the step up to 2000m here unlikely to be an issue, having gone well over these trips in the past
Ober 2000m at Wagga, the gelding beaten just over one-and-a-half-lengths into fourth in a Benchmark 66 handicap held on a sound surface in May.
Doug Gorrel’s representative arrives here on the back of a solid fourth over 1500m at Albury and he rates value to record his fifth win in the last twelve months.
Remax Elite Wagga Benchmark 82 Handicap Tips (Race 4)
Narrandera Best Bet - Race 4 No. 5 Choice Witness
While the mare failed to shine last time out, she can be forgiven that effort, which came in a 1300m metro Benchmark 70 handicap at Sandown last week.
The daughter of Showtime is better judged on her earlier efforts, including when winning impressively over 1200m at Wagga two starts back.
Choice Witness came home nearly three lengths clear of her rivals when contesting a Benchmark 66 handicap that day.
Victory in that event saw the four-year-old maintain her unbeaten record on heavy ground, with the Heavy 10 surface appearing to suit Ben Brisbourne’s representative.
The extra distance she is set to tackle here is no issue, having won twice from three outings over 1400m, including at Albury in January.
JRC Electrical Services Benchmark 58 Handicap Tips (Race 6)
Narrandera Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 5 Witch Of November
While unable to score in four previous starts on heavy going, the filly has finished in the money in three of those outings.
All four of those efforts have come this prep, including when runner-up in a 900m Benchmark 58 handicap at Albury last month.
Witch Of November was beaten less than half-a-length that day and she filled the same position when beaten half-a-length over 1000m at Gundagai next time.
The three-year-old was slowly away when racing on a Heavy 9 track at Gundagai and she arrives here on the back of a third-place finish over this track/trip.
That latest effort saw the youngster beaten just over two-and-a-half-lengths, having jumped from a wide barrier and she's going well enough to feature here.
