Port Augusta   21 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Pastoral Hotel Motel Benchmark 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of early pressure with Lucky Dog and Edgy Era leading the charge. AMANI FARASI (4) rattled home to finish in the frame last start at Port Lincoln, following up her handy win at the same track the start prior. Going well and is sure to take another strong account of herself. LEON'S SHOUT (14) hasn't won for a long while but rarely finishes too far away. Well placed this time and is 1/1 over the track and trip. Bold showing anticipated. FOSSHIO (5) turned things around last start when digging deep to get the verdict by a long neck. Drawn sticky but warrants respect. ALL CLUBS (10) will be doing her best work late from the draw. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Amani Farasi.
