GOING: S(5)

Mingari + Co Benchmark 60 Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.51)  

Expecting Fear The Sting to take up the running with Turf Puzzle and Miss Keeds close at hand. LE DERRIERE (1) resumes and brings strong form to resumption. She's proven fresh and brings a solid trial. Has a low barrier and a 2kg claim and the blinkers are on again. A bold return is likely. JEHBENTI (4) resumes for the new barn beaten 1L and he's much improved. Has a handy 3kg claim and won't have to improve much to feature. MISS KEEDS (5) just missed the hat trick here and and been freshened. She races forward and also has winning claims. NAVARRE RIVER (2) resumes and showed plenty his first preparation. He's trialled and will be naturally improved. Keep onside. FEAR THE STING (3) resumes and owns two trial wins. Has a 3kg claim and also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Le Derriere.
