GOING: N

Torque Gear for Guys Benchmark 68 Handicap 1350m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Muscle Up to take charge ahead of Carneros setting a solid tempo. MUSCLE UP (1) is a leader who was quickly back on track narrowly beaten at Launceston in stronger grade. Has the handy 3kg claim today and races well here. Rates to go one better. GEEGEES MISTY (10) improved again winning the 60 at Launceston. Fitter again and will get every chance from the inside alley. SH'BOURNE REBEL (2) resumes owning a trial win here. Will race over further but goes well this track/trip and has a handy barrier. Finds easier and the 3kg claim brings him into it. WELDBOROUGH (9) just missed in a 60 at Launceston and has more to give. Peaks now and also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Muscle Up.
