GOING: S(5)

COMMUNITY CO BENCHMARK 88 Handicap 1200m Track: SOFT6 Rain (Max: 22) Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 5.84).
Genuine tempo with Lost In Transit leading. ROCKRIBBED (7) only narrowly went down over this course and distance in the first start for the new stable and is sure to have come on with that run under the belt. Gets plenty of weight relief with the 3kg claim and looks ready to return to winning form. MILLANE (4) loves this track and trip with a win and three placings from just five attempts. Orman sticks in the stirrups and can play a role in the finish. XPRESSO (11) returned in winning order and is another to get some weight off. Top-three contender on best form. RUSSIAN ALLIANCE (8) is drawn to get a gun run from the inside alley and has a strong winning strike rate. Consider. CRAZY TRAIN (9) rarely runs a bad race and can earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rockribbed to win.
