GOING: G(4)

SHERRIN RENTALS BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

Expecting Ariat to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. NEW YORK GAL (8) peaks and is knocking on the door. Finds a touch easier and the near miss here this grade two back reads particularly well. Has the blinkers applied the first time and the 3kg claimer can use the low barrier. Go close. PUREZZA (9) led and improved again beaten a lip here in a CL2 on a heavy track. Deserves a win and the 2kg claim brings her right into it. ARIAT (13) won two trials and then was too good for the Gatton Maidens on debut. Stanley stays aboard and that's a lead. Fitter and gets her chance to take the next step. AUSBRED BLUEBIRD (7) resumes for Currie and has switched from a NSW barn. Will race over further but gets in well with the 3kg claim and will be around the mark if she's presented forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with New York Gal.
