THANK YOU JODY RODGERS BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 3m 900m-400m. True Remainder. (Pent: 4.52).  

Cracking pace early with Courageous Queen and Gold Lover leading the charge. SPLIT DECISION (4) handy filly who resumed with a gritty victory over 900m at Newcastle on March 21. Since fitted with another trial and appears to be holding her form well. Gets relief from the inside gate and will prove hard to stop again. GOLD LOVER (7) underrated filly who tackled city class when fourth at Randwick Kensington over 1100m in BM72 company on March 13. Kept fresh and has a good record at this course and distance. YIRRKALA (12) lightly raced mare who returns from a seven-month spell. Had no luck in Highway grade two back before tiring late when fifth over 1000m at Muswellbrook on September 22. Definite top-three chance. GIVING DELIGHT (8) undefeated second-up after holding on well when sixth over 1100m at this track on March 22. Can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Split Decision to win.
