GOING: S(5)

SCHWEPPES BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1700m Track: SOFT 5 Clouds (Max: 22) Rail: Out 9.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.5).
Solid tempo likely from the outset with Leather Jacket Lew and Bassac Lane prominent. Competitive. Gollan-trained KINETIC (11) has been within range without winning. She drops back in grade and is drawn to better advantage. The extra metres shouldn't bother and Maloney is a key jockey switch. She looks well-placed to record an overdue win. JUPITUS (2) finished it off well beaten 1L in a Doomben 75 over a mile. That was his best effort since switching from Waller's Victorian barn. Duric takes over from Maloney and can get him into the finish given average luck from an awkward barrier. BASSAC LANE (4) improved again winning a 62 at the Sunshine Coast as expected. He races well here and the extra 300m should advantage. Sits handy and also has claims. HOUSTON ROCKET (7) improved again narrowly beaten at the Sunshine Coast over a mile. Finally draws an inside barrier and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Kinetic.
