GOING: G(4)

Western Truck Group Toowoomba BenchMark 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo assured with Letters Of Romance and Grandeur Rose leading the way over Throw It Back. THROW IT BACK (4) was a determined maiden winner last time out, knuckling down gamely late over the 1050m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Has a wide gate to overcome but he is definitely worth including. HUMAN TOUCH (9) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by a long neck over 1050m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selection. CAITLIN (6) resumes after a break of four months. Hoping for a repeat of her debut win over 1100m at this track to kick off last prep. Ran fourth in a trial at Toowoomba Inner Track over 925m recently. Worth thought. THUNDER AWARD (1) got too far back fresh but was okay late. Better for that and will appreciate the extra 100m. CRYPTIC SOUND (8) is drawn much kinder second-up and should be able to take closer order. In the mix too. SUGGESTED PLAY: Throw It Back gets the nod.
