GOING: G(4)

JEWELL BUILDERS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Ken'ker may lead the way over Ellenmac. OHTANI (2) was back on track beaten 1.5 lengths over 1300m at Canberra and he hit the line hard. Strips fitter again and the step up to the mile suits. Brock Ryan is reunited and he'll be hard to beat. KEN'KER (1) also arrives third up and placed here over 1500m last time. Owen is a key jockey engagement and will position forward from the inside barrier. He's ready to win. HURRICANE CONI (4) is third-up and is a course/distance winner. Has further improvement to come and looks set to find best form. SOUL TAKER (6) has the ability but has been racing below her best. All three wins have come over this trip. Has weight relief and it won't surprise if she shows more. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Ohtani.
