GOING:

AR PLUMBING SERVICE BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1900m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Strong tempo from Chayse 'N' Leisa, Alfa Dundee and Flying Bat. NOTABADJACKUP (3) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win over 1800m at Gold Coast a week ago, getting home by a head. Danny Peisley scored on him last time and retains the mount. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. SAMURAI WARRIOR (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1800m at Inverell, scoring by 2 lengths to make it two in a row. Top strike rate at the journey with three wins and a placing from four starts and is right in this contest. DOUBLE WHAMMY (5) turned things around last start and scored by a nose as favourite over 1600m at Sunshine Coast Poly. Has his share of talent and will prove hard to beat again in this suitable race. FLYING BAT (2) led throughout last start to score an effortless 4.5 lengths win over 1650m at Beaudesert. Expected to feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Notabadjackup to win again.
