GOING: S(5)

Moffat Beach Brewing Co BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

They should run this along with Okesutora and La Rosetta taking it up over One Beat No Beat. Former Victorian LA ROSETTA (13) looked handy winning at the Gold Coast in the first run for the new stable and winning rider Youngberry stays on top. Gets in well at the weights with her claim and should be going very close again. OKESUTORA (5) has hit the frame here in both starts this campaign and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Has to be included in calculations. BOLSHEVIC ROAD (10) was a touch disappointing last time out but go on the strong win over this track and trip two back. Can bounce right back against this line-up. ONE BEAT NO BEAT (2) is a last-start winner who draws low and gets 2kg weight relief. Ticks a few boxes. SACRED BULL (7) next best from the Bruce yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with La Rosetta.
