GOING: S(5)

SEVEN FILLIES & MARES BENCHMARK 78 HANDICAP (4YO only QTIS bonuses applicable) 1200m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 7m Entire. (Pent: 5.84).  

Expecting Argyle Pink to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. TYPHOON TAAVI (3) will go around at short odds on the back of two recent all-the-way wins over today's trip in midweek company. Crossed from a wide gate and gave a great display of sustained speed to win by four lengths most recently at Doomben. Can take the next step against Saturday opposition and keep the ball rolling. ARGYLE PINK (4) won first-up here at this trip then struggled at 1350m last time out at Doomben. Better placed back to six furlongs and she is yet to miss the top three in four third-up runs. TRES REDOUTE (13) returned in good order at the Sunshine Coast recently. Steps up in grade but gets in with no weight and is drawn nicely so worth thought at odds. SHOHEI (9) has won 2/4 when resuming so keep her in mind first-up from a 15-week spell. ALL STASHED UP (7) comes here off three recent wins at Ipswich over shorter trips. On trial at six furlongs but cannot be dismissed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Typhoon Taavi to win again.
