Port Lincoln Hotel Benchmark 68 Handicap 1350m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 28) Rail: +2.5m 1000m-700m, +3m 700m-W/Post; True Remainder.
Genuine tempo from Rialtor leading Toorak Blaze. THE WIRRULLA BOY (2) has built into this campaign nicely, beaten narrowly here last start in a blanket finish when favourite. Loves it at this venue and should be hitting his straps now, with Livesey reuniting a notable plus. THE GUAVA (3) doesn’t win out of turn but will appreciate the drop in grade. Had excuses last time when slow to recover and holds genuine claims on best form. LAVA LAD (5) is flying, bringing up the hat-trick here at his latest. The claimer sticks to keep him in well at the weights. Going too well to ignore and the added trip shouldn’t hinder. ALLOUVRE (4) is mixing her form but has peak performances that measure right up. All three wins have come at this journey. Don’t dismiss. RIALTOR (6) improved sharply last time at Lock when scoring by 2L. A distance specialist who can keep the ball rolling. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Wirrulla Boy to win.
