GOING: FM(2)

MILNE BROS TRUCKS & TRACTORS BENCHMARK 45 Handicap 1200m Track: GOOD 3 Rail: True.
Cracking early tempo with Craiglea Thera and Media Hype leading the way. LORD VADER (3) made light work of his maiden rivals at a Monto picnic meeting just over 5 weeks ago when scoring by over 2 lengths and he won't find this much harder. He is perfectly drawn in the pole position and is poised to win again immediately. FULMEN (2) had an excuse last time out at Rockhampton and he drops down a class for this. Justin P Stanley sticks with him and so do we. IMAGINE THAT (9) is better than his last start effort on this track and he will be suited by the step up in journey here. Stick with him. CRAIGLEA THERA (8) was at 50/1 when finishing third on this track just over a fortnight ago at picnic level. A similar effort will take her close to winning this but without the fancy price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Straight out Lord Vader.
