GOING: N

QUEEN JEBBIE BENCHMARK 75 Handicap 1540m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo expected primarily from This'llbetheone and Cinque Torri. THIS'LLBETHEONE (3) just edged out CINQUE TORRI (4) in Doomben 1650m Class 6 on June 12 and they look capable of fighting out the finish again here. Recent form of THIS'LLBETHEONE is hard to ignore with the gelding winning two of his past three, at Ipswich and Doomben. Looks hard to beat again. CINQUE TORRI meets him slightly better at the weights from last start so expect him to make his presence felt again. PERNELL (8) was fifth last week in 1200m Bm65 but is better suited over the 1540m. Has five wins and four placings from 13 attempts at this course and distance so has to be respected. JOVITA (7) was 4th in 1540m Bm70 here last start but had no luck in the straight when held up for clear running at crucial stages. Can bounce back. KORDIA (2) did his best work late for third in 1262m Bm62 at Taree last start and is in the mix despite wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: This'llbetheone to win.
