GOING: S(5)

TASTE THE COAST SUN 5 MAY BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Just an even tempo anticipated. JOINT MISSION (4) showed tremendous pace last start but found one better at the end of 1500m at Kembla. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and she drops 3kgs after the claim. Sure to give a great sight. DUNEDIN (2) did a fair job at Wyong a fortnight ago when attempting this trip for the first time. Lightly raced and can improve. THREE WISE MEN (3) is fitter for two runs back from a spell and can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Joint Mission to win.
