GOING: S(6)

BOTTLEMART BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 6.00)  

Expecting Surreal Ascot to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. CHARMED PASSAGE (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.1 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved outing. Gets in well at the weights with the 3kg claim so expect another big run. THUNDERING SOUL (5) finished seventh last start over 1100m at Ipswich after racing on the pace for much of the way. Draws favourably and should be in this for a long way. MISHANI EGO (1) showed good early pace over 1000m at Sunshine Coast Poly last time and kept going to score by 1.4 lengths. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. SURREAL ASCOT (7) is not to be discounted first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Charmed Passage to go back-to-back.
