GOING:

AIE ENGINEERING MAIDEN 1200m Track: GOOD Rail: True.
Without any speed horses lining up it is not expected they will go too hard. BENFIN (3) did not kick on as expected here last time out in a race that could have come too soon for him. He is nearly 3 weeks between runs here and gets the blinkers back on. A good draw will help him and he is worth another chance. Hard to beat. SHE HATES ME (7) is a consistent mare in her short career to date with a couple of third placings in her last couple of starts and she won't have to improve by much to salute here. CALICO'S GIRL (6) only battled last start at Roebourne and could have found 1406 metres a touch too far. Her form over this trip before that was building nicely and she should be among the hardest to beat in this. CHEWING THE FAT (2) has turned a corner in his last 2 starts and was placed second on this track in his penultimate start. A good draw makes him hard to go past. SUGGESTED PLAY: Calico's Girl each-way.
