GOING: S(5)

THE LUMP AND MAJELLA ANNIVERSARY BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +5m 1000m-W/Post, +4m Remainder. (Pent: 4.84)  

Wynette, Savoldi and Shapin Power can set a genuine tempo. SAVOLDI (10) got the job done at Doomben last time out and should find this assignment a touch easier. Winning hoop Wheeler sticks in the saddle and will be right there at the business end. IMPENDOR (5) has a handy record over this distance range with a win and four placings from eight attempts. Drawn to get a soft run from gate two and can make his presence felt. WYNETTE (17) broke the maiden status at the latest outing and will have taken some confidence from that victory. Include from the inside alley. SMART RECOGNITION (8) best of the rest in a wide open affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Savoldi to salute again.
