GOING: S(5)

AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL EQUIPMENT GROUP BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: +2m 600m - 300m; True Remainder.  

Plenty of pace with Sutherland and Friday's Jet up front, pressured by Mhasahn and Above The World. SUTHERLAND (1) has hit a purple patch of late with four wins and two placings from her past six outings and it's hard to knock mares in form. Gets 3kg weight relief from the favourable draw and should be right there when the whips are cracking. TAKARA STAR (7) resumes here but the form she has shown in previous preparations is good enough for a race of this calibre. Can run a big race while fresh. RUM DIARY (3) will be ready to peak now third run back and looks a must for the multiples. SONIC ARROW (11) will be fitter for recent racing so could be ready to show more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sutherland.
