SUNSHINE COAST POLY   05 May 2024
 
GOING: N

COASTAL VEHICLE SOLUTIONS BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1000m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

A strong tempo from Ready To Torque and Kwik Az Hell pressing forward along with Mister Monaro from a wide gate. READY TO TORQUE (4) is back from a let-up after putting together two-straight wins over this course and distance in March. Has drawn nicely and has plenty of speed. Expect her to prove hard to beat. AIRSTRIKE (10) was well beaten last start at Ipswich but has since trialled nicely for second on the Gold Coast Poly track over 1050m on April 23. Hasn't won for a while but has some handy city form in the past year and at his best can figure here. ROMAN REIGN (8) has each-way claims, coming off a last-start 5th in Sunshine Coast 1000m Bm65 while before that she was a winner at Gatton. DEEP MYSTIQUE (11) covered ground on the pace before fading for fifth in 800m Class 1 at Ipswich first-up. Only lightly raced and from a better draw she could improve here. ENTERPRISE LUCIA (5) in now in the Stuart Kendrick stable and resumes here for first start since winning Grafton Class 1 in November. Has two wins and three placings from eight starts so must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ready To Torque to win
