GOING: S(5)

SUBZERO AIRCONDITIONING BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 6.1).  

No recognised leader engaged. PERFECT ENCOUNTER (3) has a good record over this course and distance and was a narrow second in this grade at most recent start here. Has the 3kg claim of apprentice Dylan Bennett and shapes as a good chance again. DEFERENTIAL (10) has not been out of the top two in four starts this prep and comes in off good win in this grade last start. Should be thereabouts again. VONZITHER (13) ran well for second in Beaudesert BM65 two weeks ago despite racing keenly in middle stages and can show up here. TAKE A PICTURE (11) was third behind DEFERENTIAL last start, has a good record over this course and distance and has drawn nicely in barrier 2 to get every chance again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Perfect Encounter.
