GOING: H(10)

LEAPFROGGER BENCHMARK 85 Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.48).  

Lost In Transit and Standing Order to apply plenty of early pressure over the sprint journey. Great contest to kick off a quality nine-race card. You'd love to own a stable full of horses like the well-related PEREILLE (4) who has only missed a drum once in 15 career outings including never missing the frame in 12 starts over this trip. First-up here but has tuned up for this with two solid Sydney trials and J Mac reunites. Should be playing a major role in the outcome. MIDNIGHT IN TOKYO (7) is another resuming but was in red-hot form prior to the spell and has a handy fresh record. Draws the inside marble and should be in this for a long way. STANDING ORDER (10) is one from one over this track and trip and is expected to settle on speed. Can give a sight. LOST IN TRANSIT (5) loves it here on his home circuit and cannot be ignored. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pereille to return a winner.
