GOING: H(10)

ZZZFM BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1410m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m 1000m-250m Cutaway Applies, True Remainder .  

Moderate pace with Sukhbir taking up the running ahead of Stoinka and Mychyna. SKYWOLF (3) found more like his best comfortably winning here this grade. Peaks now and maps for a soft run. He's likely to have these covered. REGAL EDITION (7) found a place at Eagle Farm and had excuses at Ipswich following. Tumbles in weight and is still well shy of his best. He hasn't won for a long while but gets his chance. BYRON EYES (5) has been threatening and also drops in weight. She's capable of using the rail and can make the finish. MYCHYNA (6) has won 2/3 third-up and will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Skywolf.
