GOING: S(5)

Muirs Benchmark 64 Handicap (Heat of Sportsbet Country Sprint Series) 1075m Track: Soft 6 Rain (Max: 16) Rail: True.
The Mariner and All Beans should lock horns early at a strong tempo. ZUFASTA (5) was a brave winner fresh and then went better than the form reads second-up. Strips fitter third-up over a trip he relishes. Leading player. ALL BEANS (1) was well below his best last start in town when dropping right out against tougher opposition. Will appreciate the drop in grade and is aided under the big weight with the 4kg claimer hopping aboard. Can bounce back sharply. WHENTHEDEELINGSDUN (9) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start when turning in an average one. Drops back to a preferred trip off a 55-day freshen. Likely to make her presence felt. MYOCEAN WARRIOR (8) returns and strips fitter for a Strathalbyn trial placing in readiness. Drawn poorly but isn't without his chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zufasta to win.
