GOING: G(3)

MVC COURIERS BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 3   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo assured with Jawsome, So Extra and Love Rat locking horns. JARMANAGIC (9) was in the money two starts back at Coonabarabran but was unable to repeat the effort last time when 14th, beaten 6 lengths, at Wellington over 1100m. Worth noting Shayleigh Ingelse goes aboard. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SO EXTRA (3) raced on the pace last start before fading to finish seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 950m at Moree. Change of jockey to Jake Pracey Holmes who has a strong record when aboard, including three wins. Capable of running a bold race. JAPINGKA (10) produced a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1000m at Grenfell. Nicely placed to find some form. D'ARPANO (4) draws well and can get some of the minor money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 9,3,10,4.
