LIPPIATT CANNING LONG LUNCH BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1540m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Keen battle for the lead with Pagato, Grinzinger Knight and Hulkamania in advance of Dunloe and All's Fair. Competitive. GRINZINGER KNIGHT (2) is a leader who won a 68 at Ipswich before a near miss at Doomben in much stronger than this. He's back a bit in trip, kept on the fresh side, and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. SURREAL I AM (11) resumed with an easy 62 win here and has weight relief. Fitter and has claims. ALL'S FAIR (3) beat the above home last time and, despite the awkward gate, deserves consideration. DUNLOE (5) is capable of better than what he produced first up. Boasts strong second up credentials and improvement is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grinzinger Knight appeals most.
