GOING: G(4)

ST JOHNS JUNIOR RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 23) Rail: Out 3m 900m-400m. True Remainder. (Pent: 4.3).
Pace should be on from the outset with Sisters Pick, Sparks and Cumboogle going hard, closely attended by Destiny's Bounty. SISTERS PICK (1) has plenty of natural pace and was sent out as favourite when resuming from a spell at Tamworth 18 days ago. She ran out of condition late that day and will be better for it. She is down in class and has won twice second-up in the past. A 3kg claim puts her at a nice place at the weights and she can take this out. NOT WRITTEN OFF (11) can't buy a draw lately but was still good enough to overcome a wide draw at Narromine last time out when leading all of the way to score by over 2 lengths. She has scope and won't be in this grade for long. TAKANAKUY (9) rattled home late to finish fourth at Tamworth when resuming from a spell and carries 4kg less this time. She is likely to get back early on but with a good tempo likely in this race, she can have the last say. GUTSY (6) is a tough veteran who has only had two races this year and is fresh up from a spell. He has a good record in a fresh state and can give this a shake. Each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sisters Pick to win.
