GOING: S(5)

XXXX BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: +3 metres Entire Course..  

Strong tempo assured with Find Your Own, Holy Racket and Overfull rolling to the front. Connections had such a high opinion of OVERFULL (3) that they took her to Adelaide to contest a Listed race before the spell. Didn't measure up on that occasion but will find this task easier and gets some weight relief with the claim. Revved up for this with two recent trials and can run a big race while fresh. MANPOWER (8) is another resuming but showed plenty of ability when last in work and has won when first-up before. Has placed over this track and trip and must be included in calculations. PORT ERIN (5) has a handy record over this course and distance not missing a drum in four attempts. Consistent conveyance who is a must for the multiples. HOLY RACKET (1) is a four-time winner over this sprint journey and will be at peak fitness for this. In the mix. OUTWEIGHED (6) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,8,5,1.
