GOING: S(7)

WARNELEC ELECTRICAL SERVICES BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 2100m

Track: SOFT6   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Without on-pacers engaged it may turn into a sprint home. YOUR TEMPTATION (3) was handy on the corner before dropping out over 2000m at Taree on Monday. Was found to have choked down that day so the tongue tie goes on. That should spark improvement and on his best form a win is not out of reach. IMEZAAKI (2) settled back in the field and lacked the turn of foot required over 1600m at Coonamble last start. Fitter for two runs back from a spell and needs this sort of trip now. Lightly raced maiden MISS YOU SO (9) raced on the pace but couldn't quicken over the mile at this track most recently. Should relish getting to this trip for the first time so watch for sharp improvement. SHAMISTER (5) backs up five days after charging home to just miss over 2200m at Dubbo. Doesn't win out of turn but he is going better than most of these. Maiden LIBBY (7) has been in the money at her last three. May need this coming off a five-week break but worth including in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Your Temptation each-way.
