GOING: G(3)

DRINKWISE BENCHMARK 90 Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 5.89).  

Tidal Creek has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. CABOCHE (8) wanted to be closer in the run last start but closed off well after being slowly away, finishing 1.9L off the winner. Unsure if they'll attempt to be forward again from the wide alley, but he's right on the cusp of another victory after going around as favourite his past couple. Will take beating again. ROGUE BEAR (6) had the measure of Caboche their past couple with nothing splitting them on the line last start. He's been kept up to the mark with a recent trial and he will have the tactical advantage over his rival in the run. Sure to take plenty of catching. TIDAL CREEK (3) was far too good over 1615m at Doomben last start, winning by 1L as favourite in Open company. Now out to this trip again, he has the speed to get across from out wide and dictate from the front. Will be in this for a very long way. WAIRERE FALLS (12) is usually thereabouts and has claims third-up. LORD ARDMORE (5) is ticking along nicely and can feature out to this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Caboche goes on top.
