Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Benzino. LENNOX (4) has been racing well and gets another chance to break through. Ran a good race finishing fourth at this track last start after chasing home CHILLAXING at Doomben the run before, beaten only a head. All ties in well. TAPILDOODLEDO (1) proved too good in that same race at this track, settling well back and running on to score by two lengths and turning back the clock after finishing seventh in the Caloundra Cup previously. FARWEST (9) also contested both of those races, easing back early for seventh at Doomben behind CHILLAXING before finishing sixth at this track, and looks nicely placed to feature. CHILLAXING (2) rounds it out with form hard to fault, having beaten LENNOX at Doomben and following up with third back at this track — a major player on that key current form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Lennox.
