GOING: S(5)

FISHERS PLUMBING PLUS BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1010m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Good early pressure with Skates On or Miss Molokai likely to take up the running. MISS MOLOKAI (2) returns from a 192-day break and is a new arrival in the Sally Taylor stable. Best Victorian/South Australian form from last prep measures up. Trialled well recently and should be hard to toss. Veteran ADAMDEEANT (1) found the line well to be beaten just 1.4 lengths in a BM66 over this distance at Taree twelve days ago. Six-time winner at five furlongs. Big class drop today which brings him right into calculations. SKATES ON (3) led and tried hard but was overwhelmed late last start over 1206m at this track. Suited coming back in trip and should give a good account. TYPHOON NETA (4) is back from a 131-day spell. Races well here and is at her best over today's journey so she gets things to suit on her return. ABRAZEN LAUGH (5) hasn't won for over two years but can improve coming back in class. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Molokai to win first-up.

At the latest run 4th of 13 at Taree Bm66 on June 30 over 1000m, on a wet track; 1.4 len behind Zoom Outcome with 54kg at $21.

Better effort last time and is capable of further improvement.

Having second run back today. Last start raced behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 11 at this track Cl1 on June 15 over 1208m, slow going 10 len behind What A Rush with 55kg at $20. At only start last preparation ran last of 8 at Ballina Ctry Cl1 on April 8 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 22 len behind Pareto with 55kg at $91. Doesn't win out of turn and this looks too tough.
