GOING: H(10)

CHARCOAL INN & BOTTLESHOP BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Heavy 10   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

There should be a bit of pressure with The Coat Hanger and Soozie Maree pressing forward in advance of Lampkin Lane and Insinuate. INSINUATE (4) has transferred from Waller to Matthew Dunn following a couple of unplaced efforts in Brisbane of late. Lightly raced filly who won her maiden in good style over 1550m at Murwillumbah three back. In the right race to bounce back to form. LAMPKIN LANE (8) was narrowly defeated in consecutive outings at Grafton before failing over 1812m at Port Macquarie last start. Better placed this time so watch for a return to form. CASEBOLT (7) started this prep well but was a bit flat over 1200m at Tuncurry most recently. Might be looking for this distance now so she can make amends. OCTAVIO (3) improved sharply to take out a BM58 over 1300m at Ballina last start. Placed three from four at this trip so at the third run back he makes plenty of appeal. OUR SPARKY (5) is racing well and should be in the finish despite a six-week lay-off. SUGGESTED PLAY: Insinuate to win.
