GOING: S(7)

Sportsbet Nobody Does It Easier Benchmark 56 Handicap 1550m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: +4m 1400m to 1200m, True Remainder.  

Moderate tempo headed by See De Night. DORA AURORA (5) improved sharply on her eighth two starts back at Mt Gambier with a win over 1550m at Mt Gambier two-and-a-half weeks ago. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. INFER (2) showed little early speed from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly to score at Swan Hill. Should be in the finish again. LUMBER DREAM (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when sixth at Gawler. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. TOES IN FIRST (6) has been well below his best in his last two but there's earlier form in the prep that can measure right up for this. Don't dismiss. SEE DE NIGHT (10) was well below his best last time but had been showing good early dash prior and fighting on well. Don't dismiss completely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dora Aurora to win.
