GOING: G(4)

Bordertown Stone Supplies Benchmark 56 Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True.  

The speedy Run And Tell should find the front with L'esperance Rock and Seafaring on his heels. SEAFARING (7) was at his best last start when making very light work of his rivals in this grade at Murray Bridge. Carries more weight this time but can repeat the dose. FIRST TOSEN (4) was well below his best last start when beaten convincingly by Seafaring when sent out favourite. Willing to forgive on best efforts and is drawn favourably. Can bounce back sharply. MR FERRARI (5) was a lot better last start at Mt Gambier when finishing in the placings. Drawn tricky but is in the mix. WANNASCHMACK (3) looked to be nearing a win before not running the trip last start at Strathalbyn. Drops back to a preferred trip and is drawn to get all the favours. Better showing anticipated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Seafaring to win again.
