GOING: G(4)

SHEPPARD EARTHMOVING BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1890m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

A race that lacks early pressure. Tricky. MEDICAL AUTOCRAT (2) just missed at the Sunshine Coast as favourite and then went back placing well-fancied. Comes back in grade with a handy 2kg claim. He can bounce back. LUPINE (9) ran his best race placing here over 2150m and is on a quick backup. Gets in light with the 3kg claim and should go close. DECARBONISE (4) has the rail on a quick backup and is back a level. Stanley takes over and he also deserves consideration. BILPA MOREA (6) drops back sharply in grade and can run a race from the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Medical Autocrat.
