THANK YOU RUSTY GUTS COFFEE BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1700m

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

Solid tempo with Mr Severino going forward from a sticky gate. NAVAL COMMISSION (6) had mixed luck last time in and has since resumed with a slashing second over 1600m at Goulburn in similar grade. Will get back again from the draw and not to be underestimated. FLYING DEEL (13) was in need of the run when resuming with a plugging seventh over 1350m at Wyong after drifting back on March 20. Undefeated this trip and look for her charging out wide late. ROCKBARTON ICE (16) has the right figures for this after producing a big run late when eighth over the 1500m at Newcastle on April 3. Expected to relish the extra ground and rates among the leading chances. CARING LASS (5) is on a quick back-up after finishing fifth over 1600m at Newcastle on April 6. Close to her top now and finds the right race today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,13,16,5.
