GOING: G(4)

PINK RIBBON RACEWEEK Maiden Plate 2070m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.87).  

Fine And Rare, Lady Matilda and Casanova Man can head a moderate tempo. BENZINO (1) went close here over a mile and then missed a whisker at Ipswich stepping up to this distance range. He maps well and will be fitter again. The one they have to beat. THE VOCALIST (8) finished a lip behind the above at Ipswich and then found one better at Grafton off a wide gate. Has the inside barrier today and has winning claims. CASANOVA MAN (2) is better than the form line suggests. He is on a 7-day return and is looking for the middle distance. FINE AND RARE (5) is running out of chances but got closer at the Gold Coast and the extra metres will suit. The premier hoop goes aboard and that's a decent push for his chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Benzino.
