GOING: S(5)

GILGANDRA SERVICES CLUB BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Anazarli, Costas and Zounile will not hold back as they vie for the lead from Cranberries and Thundozer. UPLINK (5) had a soft kill at Mudgee two runs ago then struggled over 2200m at Dubbo in heavy going at his last run five weeks back. This looks a nice assignment while fresh. ANAZARLI (6) led and gave a kick before being swamped close to home and finishing a close sixth over 1400m at Tamworth recently. Just one win in 36 is a worry, but a repeat of the last run puts him right in the picture. YAMAMAI (3) found the line strongly to collect her maiden win at Warren last start. Will be hard to hold out over this longer journey. RIBEAUVILLE (4) is next best in a race with a long tail. SUGGESTED PLAY: Uplink to score.
