GOING: S(5)

SUMMERLAND TROPHIES BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1110m Track: SOFT 5 Clear (Max: 18) Rail: Out 2.5m 950m-300m. Out 1.5m 300m-W/Post, True Remainder.
A slick tempo on the cards with Snipillicious and Ronny Rock Art battling for the lead ahead of Old Timing Man. ROLLING ROCK (5) produced a real eye-catcher when resuming over 1200m at Ipswich last start, coming from next to last on the bend to grab second in a slightly stronger race than this. Can race a bit closer from the better draw so although coming back in trip she looks the one to beat. RONNY ROCK ART (3) missed by a whisker first-up at Taree then got back and failed to warm to the task over 1050m on the Gold Coast poly last time. Worth another chance back on the turf. OLD TIMING MAN (4) improved out of sight when second-up on a firmer surface recently, edged out in a tight one over 1205m at Grafton. Draws a lot closer this time and gets a bit of weight relief. Right in the mix. NEOCLASSICISM (9) is a consistent gelding but has only one win among 13 top-three finishes. First-up from a 66-day break with blinkers on. Sure to be competitive. Last start Murwillumbah winner SNIPILLICIOUS (10) must be included on an eight-day back-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Rolling Rock.
