GOING: S(5)

Dynamic Electrical and Refrigeration BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 0.5m Entire.  

Solid tempo expected primarily from Poet's Day and Call Me Marilyn. Tricky. BO BO BEWARE (7) switched from a Sydney yard and delivered a Mackay Maiden easily as expected. He had support in a 58 at Yeppoon following and didn't finish it off. Huxtable sticks aboard and the inside gate is there to use. Come back 200m and is worth another chance. CALL ME MARILYN (5) led and won here this grade finding more like her best. Has a small claim and the speed to clear the wide barrier. Fitter and is sure to give a sight. MIL CIENTO (4) missed a whisker behind the above here and then was slow away at Mackay 6-days ago. Has an awkward barrier but Wiggins is a more than able replacement for Huxtable and expect him to manage. SUISSE SCANDAL (3) has been freshened and Stanley's booking interests. Needs to find more but he maps for the run of the race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bo Bo Beware appeals most.
