GOING: G

Call Spud & Brenden for Insurance Benchmark 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo assured from Me Name's Harry and I'm Kenny leading the charge. THE LAST DANCE (2) was much better last time at Port Lincoln when saluting as public elect after stalking the early pace. Not much tougher this time, just has to lug the weight but is helped by the 4kg claim. SIR PANAMA (5) isn't doing much wrong and lines up well for this. Has enough pace to offset the draw, if they wanted to be positive on him out the mile. Best efforts have him in the finish. EXPLICABLE (3) found the frame when having his first start on a dirt track last time out, despite it being a fair way off the winner. Better for that last run and is a genuine threat. ME NAME'S HARRY (4) finished a length away in second on the dirt two back, then followed it up with success at Port Lincoln two weeks ago. Has found form and can keep the ball rolling. I'M KENNY (7) is worth keeping safe off his narrow defeat two back alone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lean to The Last Dance.
