GOING: G(4)

MULLINS LAWYERS BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1660m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.82).  

Expecting Grinzinger Knight to take up the running with Coup De Tonnerre and Aqua Alta close at hand. AQUA ALTA (4) rates well and can fire third-up building on the handy sprint efforts. She spelled following a 2L defeat this track/trip in an 80, so the extra metres hold no fears. Maps for the run of the race and benefits from a 2kg claim. COUP DE TONNERRE (6) is ex-Gollan and has returned to racing improved. Graham's 1.5kg claim is handy and he will position forward. His best would have him in the finish. Neasham-trained DIABLO BOLT (8) was quickly up in trip beaten a nose at Ipswich over 1700m. He has more to give and gets in well with the 3kg claim. Draws better after the scratchings. DRIALLE (2) missed the hat trick here this grade but improved again and tackles the mile for the first time. Can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Aqua Alta.
