GOING:

Thai Imperial Benchmark 60 Handicap 1880m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Looks a decent tempo with Reward For Rosie, O'reilly Mcluke and Mihoko Takeo leading the charge. Tough. JOHNNIE PINCH (1) won here and then missed a nose in a 68 over a mile. Has an awkward gate but keeps Pires and can bounce back with average luck. METAVERSE (2) was beaten a whisker here in the same grade/trip 7 days ago. Keeps the handy 2kg claim and can go one better. SOUTHERN WIND (3) was close up over this distance in a 68 off a near miss over longer at Hobart. Needs a good ride but Newitt stays aboard and that's a positive. THREE'S A CROWD (11) is knocking on the door and is back in distance. Has claims but also draws wide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Johnnie Pinch.
