GOING: G(4)

SUBZERO AIRCONDITIONING BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6).  

Machine Head should lead at a strong gallop. UPSTART LEGEND (6) won the CL3 and then wasn't too far away in the CL4. Fitter again and this is much easier. The blinkers go on again and she should have the early speed to manage the wide barrier. Go close. MACHINE HEAD (9) led and won the 60 by a whopping 7.5L on a heavy track. The form prior on better surfaces stacks up and he has the handy 2kg claim. Decent claims. FIGHTING IDOL (5) also resumes and is a fresh winner who has trialled well. Keep him onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Upstart Legend.
