GOING: G

MATER PRIVATE HOSPITAL BUNDABERG BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1090m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Anticipating a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. RAINBOW BEACH (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1030m at Gympie two weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. REVITUP CHARLIE (4) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at Gold Coast after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds the right race this time and can take the next step and salute. CAPIANA (3) did well last start but found one better over 1170m at Gympie, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIMMY'S SECRET (1) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 800m at Thangool. Likely improver with top-three prospects. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rainbow Beach to go on with it.

Dual acceptor. Resuming today after a break of 12 weeks. Finished off last preparation by 0.6 len Rockhampton Bm60 December 18 over 1835m slow track defeating Pride Of Savabella carrying 54.5kg at $15. First up last campaign fourth in a small field at Gladstone Bm60 August 16 over 1000m, 5 len behind Cinderella Man with 55kg at $13. Capable of a bold return.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 at Gold Coast F&M 0 - 58 on March 7 over 1000m, slow going 1.5 len behind Unfaithful carrying 57kg at $10. The start before that 4th of 9 at Sunshine Coast 0 - 58 on February 13 over 1000m, slow going 4.5 len behind Loken with 56.5kg at $2.90. Key chance.

Was well in the market at debut, won won by 2 len at Gympie 2yo+ Mdn-Sw February 28 over 1030m defeating Columbia Reef with 55.5kg at $4.20. Likely to be popular with punters and looks very tough to beat again.
