GOING: S(5)

RDO EQUIPMENT GATTON BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: True.  

A few are capable of pushing forward heading a moderate tempo. Tricky. KING TARIK (6) won a Maiden at Doomben three back (second-up) and resumed there in a 65 and needed the outing. He is much better suited today and fitter rates a decent chance. VONZITHER (5) was back to her best winning a 58 at the Sunshine Coast. Maps for a sift run and the in-form Huxtable rides. She's capable of going back-to-back. WANDA'S OUTLAW (8) resumes after 128 days and has switched from a Victorian barn. May need one but has plenty of ability and no surprise if she hits the line hard. ROCKIN' ARTIE (3) posted a good figure when beaten 1L at the Sunshine Coast. He's raced well here and is a hope. FLYING BIRDS (1) won and then didn't have the best of it here following. Maps well and the longer sprint is likely to suit. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to King Tarik.
