GOING: S(5)

EDDIES COMMUNITY EVENT Fillies & Mares BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 2m Entire. (Pent: 5.5).  

Solid tempo with several going forward and we should get a true result as a consequence. KITRI (1) is yet to win this preparation but has been racing consistently and can take plenty of beating in this grade on her best form. Might not have been totally comfortable in the Heavy (9) conditions last start. Prior to that was only beaten 2L in a 1350m 3YOF Hcp at Doomben and before that placed in a Bm65 for fillies and mares at Doomben. Rates highly. YEMEAN (11) didn't have the best of luck in the straight when 3rd in a 1000m Sunshine Coast C1 last start. Still only lightly raced with upside and can figure here. TYCOON MISTRESS (3) resumes off a convincing barrier trial win and has shown talent with a win and four placings from six starts. Capable of giving a big sight here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Kitri.

Comes here off a 31-day let-up. At the latest run failed to make an impression; ran last of 8 at this track Bm65 on April 10 over 1100m, on a slow track; 8 len behind All Stashed Up with 56.5kg at $26. The start before that won by 1.1 len at Ballina Bm58 March 1 over 1000m on a soft track defeating Marleedoone carrying 58kg at $3.80. Wide draw but has plenty of speed and can improve on latest showing.
