GOING:

MERCURE SUNSHINE COAST KAWANA WATERS Class 1 Plate & Maiden Plate 2000m

Track:     Rail: True Entire Course..  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Benzino and Cast Party kicking up to hold out the next wave. BENZINO (9) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 2200m at Sunshine Coast. Gets in well at the weights with the claim and is sure to take some running down. MISSILE AWAY (10) turned in an eye-catching run over 1800m at Sunshine Coast last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Will be hitting the line late again. CAST PARTY (5) finished third at Eagle Farm two runs back but was less effective last time over 1630m at Doomben, finishing 16 lengths back in eighth. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is set to turn things around. ROARING SUCCESS (3) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Benzino to give backers a sight.
