GOING: S(5)

BURDEKIN VETERINARY SERVICES BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1460m

Track: GOOD4     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Sideshow Frankie and Mohawk Warrior pressing forward with Stateswoman not far away. THAT'S IT (1) has recorded three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1200m at Townsville after he was well back on straightening. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. MOHAWK WARRIOR (5) was only a nose from the winner in second last time out in a small field over 1350m at Mt Garnet. Should park just off the speed. Will give a great sight. BUBBLES'N'FROTH (2) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when eighth at Townsville over 1200m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is one of the main contenders. SIDESHOW FRANKIE (4) has been mixing form but was in the money last start when second over 1608m at Gladstone. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: That's It on top.
