GOING: G(4)

TOOWOOMBA TRUCK SPARES BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +1.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Bauhinia Rock and Bean Dancing possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. CHINCHILLA AHEAD (9) resumed here this grade, beaten 0.5L. He will give away a start again but has a senior hoop aboard today. He has more to give and has won 2/2 second-up. Stablemate ARCHER'S GAME (2) has a 2kg claim and is seeking the hat-trick freshened. Has been kept up to the mark with a trial and is back in grade. A live chance. BAUHINIA ROCK (3) peaks and is busting to win. Has a 3kg claimer aboard today, and that brings him right into it. ELLA TE AMA (1) won this grade by a space over a mile, quickly back on track. Has to drop back to a sprint, but keeps the handy 2kg claim and will be fitter again. RINGER'S REWARD (10) resumes and has the ability. May find this a touch short, but he draws low and is worth a look. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Chinchilla Ahead.

Useful mare. Last start came from midfield and scored a big 5.5 len win at this track Bm70 May 24 over 1625m on a rain affected track defeating Nerano carrying 59kg at $3.50. Before that eased back early on 11th of 14 at Ipswich Hcp on May 10 over 1350m, slow going 8 len behind Sha Of Gomer carrying 51kg at $10. Racing well and can go on with it.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 45-day let-up. At the latest run won by a nose at Ipswich Bm78 April 30 over 1700m in soft going defeating The Catch carrying 54.5kg at $6. The run before that came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track Bm68 April 17 over 1625m defeating Cape Crusader with 58kg at $3.80. Rates highly and should be very competitive.

The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.8 len at Flinton Bm60 April 19 over 1000m defeating Inatick carrying 60.5kg at $9.50. Others appeal more.

Finished off last preparation tenth of 12 at Cairns Daintree 4yo Hcp August 24 over 1500m, soft track; 6 len behind Pipistrelle carrying 55.5kg at $21. Previously first up; third of 7 at Sunshine Coast 3yo Bm62 December 10 2023 over 1200m, a neck behind Soo Sweet with 58.5kg at $10. The betting will be key.

First up last campaign eighth of 10 at Dalby Bm60 October 7 2023 over 1200m, 7 len behind Gidget with 58.5kg at $5. Might be better off following this outing.
