DM PLUMBING CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: +7m 1100m - W/Post, +6m remainder .  

Reasonable tempo with Erina probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. FEAZABEEL (1) made it four wins from his last five runs, all at the mile, when he easily took out a BM75 at Canberra eight days ago. Although coming to the provincials this doesn't look as tough. Getting up in the weights but it is hard to tip against him. TOUSSAINT (8) enjoyed the step up to 1600m last time out when second-up from a spell, getting home by the barest margin at Goulburn. Up in grade but drops 4kgs and will improve further at just the third run back. Definite contender. CAP D'AIL (6) closed a shade too well for his rivals in a 1400m maiden here recently when facing the starter for just the fourth time. Looks ready to go to this next level. Veteran SATNESS (3) hits his right race at the fifth run of the campaign. Boasts four wins and three placings from nine runs over the Kembla mile. Cannot be underestimated. ERINA (5) tackles a better race today after stringing two together. Not to be taken lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Feazabeel to do it again.
