GOING: G(4)

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY MIA BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 5.80)  

Inatick is the likely leader at a strong tempo. KINROSS LANE (6) was ridden quietly fresh up and unleashed with a big run to score by a nose here 4 weeks ago over 1000m. The extra furlong is ideal, and a 3kg claim will help negate her wide draw this time. Go again. INATICK (2) fought on gamely as favourite when finishing runner-up as favourite at Flinton 3 weeks ago. He has been racing well on the picnic and full-tote circuits, and another honest effort is on the cards. ARCTIC BEAR (10) had a tough trip from a wide draw at Gatton last time out, but still managed to finish third. He gets a big swing in his draw this time and should go close to taking this out. MOOD KILLER (11) has raced her way back into winning form and let down with a quick turn of foot to score by a length here last week. She won't find this much harder, and can continue to hold her form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inatick each way.
