GOING: S(7)

KORFF AND CO DASH BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Just On Fire should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. BILL PEYTO (10) settled well back last time out then found the line strongly to finish fifth over 2100m at Tamworth. Will drift back but is sure to prove tough to beat. MY KIND OF GIRL (8) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1200m at Gulgong in a disappointing performance. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. OAKFIELD ECHIDNA (12) finished out of the money two starts back then ran fifth over 1800m at Gulgong two weeks ago. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. MARIOTA (2) was safely held when ninth over 1400m at Moree. Assess on the win at Mudgee at the previous outing. In contention this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bill Peyto will relish the claim and take holding out.
