GOING: S(5)

CUBICO BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: +2m 500m-300m; True Remainder.  

Easy Come should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. HEY PUMPKIN (4) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing fifth over 1000m at Goondiwindi. Should park just off the speed. Can atone. COPPER SUNSET (1) ran sixth at his latest appearance over 860m at Gatton, clocking in 4 lengths from the winner. Among the leading chances. ONE MORE THING (5) finished seventh over 1300m at Dubbo at his most recent appearance on February 2. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Bree Wiblen. Makes plenty of appeal. MY SICADA (6) made progress last start to finish third over 1000m at Nanango. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. EASY COME (11) could show more second up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hey Pumpkin to bounce back to winning form.
