GOING: G

Northpoint Port Augusta Benchmark 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Pace genuine with Jamcra and Devine Assassin pressing hard closely followed by Funny Legs and Badiss. WICKED ADDICTION (4) was no match for a smart winner in town last start but will appreciate the drop in grade. Rates highly on best figures and is expected to play a major role off a short freshen. JAMCRA (3) fought hard to fend off challengers and get the verdict last start at Clare. Not that much tougher this time as he drops back in trip from a good draw. Can win again. MAVEN MISSILE (2) didn't give his rivals a sniff last start when leading pillar-to-post to shed his maiden tag. Confidence-boosting win and can now go on with it. DEVINE ASSASSIN (7) battled on soundly into a midfield finish last time at Gawler. Drawn softly and can make her presence felt on best efforts. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Wicked Addiction.
