BENABILLA AUCTIONS COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 12)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Cracking tempo with Jagerschnitzel and Cumnock leading the way. OAKFIELD UTAH (10) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading in town when tackling Highway company. Well placed back to this level and should be near peak fitness third-up. Bold showing anticipated. TALKACHINO (1) resumed over this trip at Dubbo last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring with a bit up his sleeve. Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selection. MRS BULL (7) was below her best last time but does boast good peaks. Backs up quickly and it's worth noting Weir reuniting. Don't underestimate. JAGERSCHNITZEL (13) didn't progress as anticipated second-up at Scone when well supported but remains one to keep in mind. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oakfield Utah to win.
