GOING: G(4)

INSURANCE ADVISERNET AUSTRALIA PINK SILKS F&M BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1305m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m 1000m-350m, True Remainder.  

A strong tempo is assured with It'sallsaidandone and Moden leading the charge. Very little depth to the form which brings AITUTAKI (1) right into contention. Resumed at Eagle Farm over 1200m last start and didn't figure at any stage after an awkward beginning. Placed at four of five runs over this trip. Strips fitter and despite a big weight might be too good for this line-up. NEVER ISLAND (2) has been freshened up since charging home late to get up for second over the mile here 38 days ago. Hasn't won for a long while but gets a soft run from gate one and while a bit new can sprint well. FELASUVI (8) slogged it out for a distance second in heavy going here at this trip recently. Very fit mare who should be about the money again. LITTLE PROPHET (3) has been out of form for a while but this looks a little easier than recent assignments. One for the exotics. Hard to see the other runners making an impression - IT'SALLSAIDANDONE (6) is the pick of the remaining bunch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aitutaki to win.
