Strong tempo assured from Iowna Benz and Parmenio leading the charge. ROTHGATE (5) chasing his third win from four starts. Taken to the front on resumption when a commanding winner over 1000m at Wellington. Goes equally as well second up and gets weight relief again with the 3kg claim. Leading player. IOWNA BENZ (1) lightly raced filly from a good producing mare with a stack of upside. Over raced first up when fading to run last over 1100m at Hawkesbury in BM64 class. Claim helps and should rebound quickly. GERETY (4) will find this more to her liking after finishing sixth over 1200m at Dubbo in BM82 class. Backs up quickly and maps to get the good run. PYROMANIA (2) comes here in peak condition and placed twice at this course. One for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,4.
