XXXX BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1600m Track: SOFT5 Rain (Max: 22) Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.84). |

---|---|---|---|---|
In a race without a noted leader either Torovista or Northern Decree can take charge. STARZAM (7) has found the line well at both runs this prep over shorter distances, most recently beaten under three lengths in a BM78 at Doomben. Needs this trip at this stage of the prep. Duric replacing the apprentice is a positive sign from the Schweida camp. TENZING (6) comes off a midweek win at Doomben. Consistent gelding with good stats here at the mile. RISING PACIFIC (3) is down in grade and ready to peak at the third run back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Starzam.
