GOING: G(4)

Devils to Diehards Shoreline Classic QTIS BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.73)  

Craiglea Merida should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. CRYPT DE PIN (7) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish third over 1100m at this track at her latest appearance. Can challenge. RUM DIARY (4) was a winner over 1100m at this track last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by 0.7 lengths. Has a decent record at this track. Sure to go well. GRAND CRUSADER (2) finished third last start over 1200m at Esk, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will be rock-hard fit. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. PUREZZA (3) is better than what she showed last start and has claims off the fresh placing prior. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crypt De Pin win.

Second run back. First-up after three months 3rd in a small field at Gympie Bm75 on February 28 over 1030m, 4.5 len behind Holiday Dreams with 53kg at $4.60. Previously second-up in a small field at Wondai Hcp on July 5 over 1100m, 8 len behind Holiday Dreams carrying 55.5kg at $4. Fitter but facing a tougher assignment and is unlikely to threaten.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 8 at Esk Bm55 on March 7 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Miss Dramatic with 60kg at $4. The race before that won by a nose at Goondiwindi Bm55 February 21 over 1400m defeating Invisible Target carrying 61.5kg at $3. Going well enough to give this a shake.

Most recently came from midfield and won by 0.7 len at this track 0 - 55 March 3 over 1100m defeating Prince Of Diamonds with 57kg at $7. Before that raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Ipswich Cl2-Sw on January 10 over 1100m, 8 len behind Cindersea carrying 60kg at $91. Hard to beat on that latest effort.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation fourth of 7 at Gatton Bm58 October 28 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 16 len behind Googaz carrying 60kg at $31. First up last campaign fifth of 10 at Goondiwindi Botb Qual April 12 over 1200m, soft track; 4 len behind Elusive Eagle with 57.5kg at $26. Certainly one to consider.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up favourite; scored a big 4.5 len win at Gatton 0 - 55 February 10 over 1100m defeating Torvecchio with 56kg at $14. Last start rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 9 at this track 0 - 55 on March 3 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Smackeroony carrying 58kg at $2.20. Looks very tough to beat.
