GOING: S(5)

BUSH & CAMPBELL ACCOUNTANTS BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: True.  

Expecting News At Five to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. RED PAREE (13) was narrowly beaten at Griffith and Leeton and finds easier than last time. Owen is a key jockey switch replacing the 2kg apprentice and she maps for the run of the race. Hard to beat. MORE IMPORTANCE (3) was back to his best winning the 58 at Echuca. He will position forward from the inside gate and the longer sprint shouldn't be an issue. The 1.5kg claim assists and he should go close. NEWS AT FIVE (4) resumes for the Donna Scott yard and owns a trial win here. Brings good form and will push forward. The 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Red Paree.
