GOING: G(4)

LINDSAY COYNE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

From wide out Nanakorobi Yaoki can slide over and set up a strong tempo. ALBANJO (6) weakened out of it last start after leading up at Moree and will be suited by the drop back to 1200 metres. A 2-kilo claim from inform hoop Cobi Vitler will be an advantage and he could be the one to side with in an even lineup. ENDLESS RIVER (8) has not won for some time and can mix his form but he has won 4 times over this journey and drops in weight from his last run when he was third at a recent Armidale picnic meeting. PARIS AVENUE (10) resumes after a break of five months and has been in the money when fresh before. Looks a genuine hope first-up. ALWAYS HUNTING (4) include in any multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: Albanjo win.
