GOING: S(5)

RINNAI / SWAN BATHROOM AND PLUMBING SUPPLIES BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1650m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 14)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Departing Bullet and Arancione pressing forward with Major Desire not far away. AUTUMN HEIR (12) is third-up and laid a solid foundation at the provincials. He was well in the market the latest and the step up to the 1650m suits. This looks winnable. JOHNTIALJO (7) improved again winning a 58 at the Sapphire Coast at this distance. It was a tough effort from a wide gate and he draws inside today. A chance to go on. AIRLINER (5) hasn't won for a long time but he's been racing in better class and has the blinkers on for the first time. Keeps Penza and he deserves consideration. MAJOR DESIRE (9) peaks for the Olive yard and is capable of better. She's on an 8-day return and will likely push forward from the sticky barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Autumn Heir.
