GOING: S(5)

THANK YOU MICK PERKINS BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m Track: SOFT5 Rain (Max: 22) Rail: True. (Pent: 4.38).
Smart Jazz, Flying Banjo and Our Musketeer can set a decent tempo. WHO EVER THOUGHT (2) switched from a NSW yard and raced well first-up at Scone before being beaten a whisker at Dubbo in a CL1. Fitter again and has more to give. Has an awkward gate but this is winnable with average luck. MRS BIGGLESWORTH (12) brought strong form to resumption but settled back and only got busy late. Expect her to sit closer up today and show more like her best form. A chance if she does. ISLAND LEGEND (1) resumed at Armidale well supported but settled back and may not have appreciated the track conditions. Won comfortably at Gosford three-back in this grade and quick improvement is likely. CANDID (9) surprised spiking her figures at Dubbo in a CL1. Ran along in that and draws a low gate again. A hope holding the form. SUGGESTED PLAY:With Who Ever Thought.
