GOING: H(10)

SEARLES GARDEN PRODUCTS BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1500m

Track: HEAVY 10     Rail: True.  

Strong pace from Sock'emsid and Springthorpe matching motors with Passionate Rebel close at hand. PASSIONATE REBEL (2) was an easy 58 winner here over this distance and has been knocking on the door since at other venues. His record here is sharp and down in grade he's the one to beat. HUSSONHOFF (10) comes out of the same contest and improved again beaten 2.2L. Hit this at top and should enjoy a cosy run. TAVISTOCK GROVE (9) runs along and won her Maiden here before a plainer run placing on the Sunshine Coast poly. Peaks now and will get every chance using the low barrier. SCOTTISH PRINCE (4) is hard to catch but showed plenty at the back of the previous preparation. Is suited with the 3kg claim and he's worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Passionate Rebel.

Racing well and is in the mix.
