GOING: G(4)

Adelaide Galvanising Industries Supports SA Racing Benchmark 62 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +7m 1200m Chute, +10m Remainder.  

Hollandaise and Squad to take up the running at a genuine tempo. NURYS (7) has rattled home strongly to just miss in both runs back this campaign. Drops back in trip off a 39-day freshen and can take much closer order this time from the inside draw. Rates highly and is ready to strike through. MINE ALL MINE (2) turned in a much-improved effort last start to score over 900m here, in what has subsequently proven a hot form race. Confidence-boosting win and can measure up again. ECLAIR VITALITY (3) is chasing a hat-trick after two smart wins in NSW. Makes his stable debut for David Aldridge and carries upside off a 58-day freshen. Must take him seriously. OBI (8) resumes short of a preferred trip but has his share of ability. With a lack of early speed, he could land in a tricky spot from the inside alley, but he will appreciate reuniting with winning hoop in Crowther. Keeping safe. HOLLANDAISE (12) was just edged out when resuming and will strip fitter. Has to be considered. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going Nurys to win.
