GOING: S(5)

BATEMANS BAY SOLDIERS CLUB SHOWCASE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Howgoodisvegas and Noble Attack. PRESSILLY (12) impressed when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden over this course and distance, driving hard late to just prevail. No step up in distance second-up which is a variation on the course taken last prep. Back better than ever and worth following. DIVINE RENDEZVOUS (11) wasn't the best away and found it hard to get involved last time out over this distance at Gundagai. Very fit mare whose best efforts are good enough to win a race of this calibre. SNAPPY JIM (2) stalked the pace then went home a shade too well at his latest appearance over 1100m at Nowra. Won't mind the extra trip and is a leading player again. YOUR NOT THE BOSS (1) is back from a 16-week spell. Opened last prep with a minor placing over this distance at Kembla which is a strong form reference. The in-form PERUNO (4) has been in the money at ten of 13 Moruya runs. Must be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pressilly each-way.
