GOING: G(4)

ENZED BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1070m Track: GOOD 4 Rail: True.
Fast tempo assured with Luminous Waters, Merchant Moon and Artopia going toe-to-toe. MERCHANT MOON (2) has had 1 start this year in the middle of March and was third on this track after setting the pace. He resumes at an easier level and could take them all the way. GAZZA'S DIAMOND (3) had an excuse last start at Toowoomba 2 weeks ago and will find this company more to her liking. The winkers are back on, and he can have a say in the outcome of this race. Each way. QUARTER RED (8) finished third at Dalby in his penultimate start and has been mixing that form with some good results on the picnic circuit. This is no harder, and he will be hard to hold out. ARTOPIA (13) got too far back over 800m at Warwick last start, and with a step up to 1070m, she will be hoping to settle closer to the pace. Don't risk her, despite a wide draw. BY BY MUSIC (6) ran on late at Gatton last start, and he usually finds form when third up from a spell. Stick with him, especially with the aid of a 3kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Merchant Moon to win.
