GOING: G(4)

BRYCON CIVIL F&M BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m 1200m-350m. True Remainder.  

Pressure on from word go with Alenia, Villa Treville and Royalz handlebars down ahead of Look Closer. LAVISH LADY (8) trained on the track and all three wins have come at this course and distance. Up in grade when a tiring third at the end of 1000m here on April 26. Well placed this class and expected to go close. ALENIA (9) was in need of the run when resumed with a plugging fifth over 1200m here on April 26. Both wins have come second-up and gets her chance from the good gate. VILLA TREVILLE (1) resuming from a ten-month break and gets weight relief with the 3kg claim. Since fitted with a solid trial placing over 1000m at Scone on April 17. Looks forward for this. LOOK CLOSER (13) got off the mark at start nine when led throughout to score over 1050m at Inverell on April 29. Claim helps again and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,9,1,13.
