GOING: G

Coffin Bay Pacific Oysters Benchmark 70 Handicap 1750m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Genuine early tempo with Sir Lord and I Need A Drink taking advantage of their low draws. I NEED A DRINK (3) finally gets back to a suitable trip fourth-up and already has strong form at this track and distance. Draws to get the gun run for Milnes and looks very hard to beat. I'M A DEXSTAR (1) has also been tackling trips short of his best so far this campaign. Fourth-up now on his favoured home track, sharp improvement is anticipated. MR TRAFFICANTI (8) showed grit to score narrowly over a similar trip at Clare. Faces a tougher test but gets in well again with the claim and arrives rock-hard fit. Sure to be competitive. CULLEN SKINK (7) rises back to a more suitable journey and can quickly put his last two runs behind him. On best figures, he holds genuine winning claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Need A Drink to win.
