GOING: S(5)

PRECISION GROUP BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +8m 900m-W/Post; +5m Remainder. (Pent: 4.94)  

Tarps is expected to lead at a strong tempo. BRUCKHEIMER (2) delivered the hat-trick before the spell and found one better resuming at the Sunshine Coast in stronger than this. Has placed 2/2 second up and maps for the run of the race with a handy 2kg claimer aboard. The one to beat. HUMPHREE BEAR (3) scored two back at Sunshine Coast on resumption but was below his best there last time (vet cleared). Has the inside gate and is suitably placed. Anticipating a big run this time. BOLD BIDDER (5) won comfortably at Ipswich from the front and then was outgraded at Doomben. Has been kept on the fresh side and can figure in the finish. BEAUTY BOUND (4) looked at need of it at Ipswich after the switch from an Adelaide yard. Can't be riled out over a more suitable distance. TARPS (6) resumes and is back on turf for the first time in five starts. Has ability and is a close betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bruckheimer to win.
