GOING: S

Agfert Fertilizers Benchmark 56 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m 950m-450m. Out 2.5m 450m-W/Post. Out 2m W/Post-1600m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.85).  

Strong early tempo from Zero Inn and Covered Call. SUPER SHARP (3) was only warming to his task late when resuming at Port Augusta. Is sure to have come on with that run under the belt as he steps out to a winning trip. Leading player. ZERO INN (4) gave backers a bold sight last start at Edenhope, only to be gunned down on the line. Is drawn to advantage from the inside pillar and is aided at the weights with the 3kg claimer engaged. Expect her to take some reeling in. NAVY GOLD (9) never looked likely when resuming at Murray Bridge against tougher opposition but was doing his best work late. This is easier and he is sure to appreciate the rise in trip. GARRIRE (11) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Super Sharp each-way.
