GOING: G(4)

Thank you to everyone that donated to our Worlds greatest shave event BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 860m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m 700m-300m; True Remainder.  

Strong early tempo with Island Tide leading the way. KRAKARIB (1) is first-up in the region but has shown plenty of ability in harder grade in Victoria and strikes a very winnable contest here. Tuned up for this with two solid trials and is capable of playing a major role in the outcome while fresh. ISLAND TIDE (9) just missed the placings when resuming and will strip fitter for that hit-out. Drawn low and hails from an astute barn. Looms as the main danger. SHINSHINTO (3) has a handy first-up record and must be included. WRITTLE (4) next best with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Krakarib to win.
