GOING: H(8)

INSPIRED BUILT BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Antonito to take charge ahead of Beaux Rumble at a strong tempo. ANTONITO (18) has come back in fine fashion stringing two wins together on the bounce this preparation and is racing with a lot of confidence. Is one from one over this seven furlong journey and only needs some luck from the sticky draw to play a major role in the outcome. SHIHAB (4) is another to put back-to-back wins together with Dolan being in the saddle for both those victories. Cannot be ignored. QUOTHQUAN (15) is a last-start winner who strips fitter third-up from the spell and draws the inside marble. Ticks a few boxes. OCEAN ALPS (11) has won four of her past five outings and it's hard to knock mares in form. Must be included. SCALEXTRICS (9) brings NSW form to the contest and a strong showing would not surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Antonito to bring up the hat-trick.

Doubt she can turn the tables.
