GOING: S(5)

BEDSHED GOLD COAST QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1708m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +3m 1000m-W/Post; True Remainder . (Pent: 4.98)  

Without a great deal of early pace evident Norty Forty may lead the way over Pink Vixen. NORTY FORTY (2) didn't measure up in G1 company last time out but will find this assignment much more to her liking. Grows a leg for hoop Yoshida who has three wins and a placing from just five steers and a return to the winners' stall would not surprise. LYNEHAM (1) is knocking on the door of another victory with consecutive runner-up finishes and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. Looms as the main danger. GO MARO (3) has been thereabouts in recent efforts and is another to get some weight off. Top-three credentials on best figures. PINK VIXEN (4) should get a cosy run in transit from gate two and is a must for the exotics players. PIGGIETALES (8) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Norty Forty to bounce back.
