GOING: G(4)

THE LEAGUES CLUB BEACH BASH BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.73)  

Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. GOOSE STEP (9) finished third over 1000m at Kumbia at her most recent appearance on November 4. Has found a suitable race and can return with a win. SMACKEROONY (2) was far from disgraced when fifth last start over 1000m at Gold Coast, beaten 3 lengths after he worked home in good style. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MR ENCORE (1) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when third over 800m at Thangool. Well placed out to a longer trip now. Must be respected. YES I'M UGLY (5) comes here off a break of five-and-a-half months. Scored over 1100m at Rockhampton to launch the last campaign. Has to be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,2,1.
