GOING: G(4)

BLACK TRUCK & AG BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace with Kickatinalong and Jenchick Boom leading from Gazza's Diamond. KICKATINALONG (8) trialled well and then belted the Gatton Maidens by 2.5L on debut. Led in that and will skip across again. Fitter and is capable of taking the next step. JENCHICK BOOM (6) resumes for the premier metro barn and would win comfortably at best. She has been off the scene for 419 days and that's the query. Brings two Doomben trial outings and maps for the run of the race. BUCKALTIUS (1) was plainer second up but will use the inside barrier and a much better effort is likely. FIRST PEOPLES (15) went better than it appears on paper last start and has to be included from the soft draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Kickatinalong.
