GOING: S(5)

Lyden Builders Benchmark 60 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +11m 1200m-W/Post, +9m Remainder. (Pent: 4.58)  

Periwinkle should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. NAVAL ANTHEM (1) has made a bright start to his career in Tasmania after making the move from Queensland earlier in the year. He was in the money in all 3 starts to kick off this season, including a win, and his recent freshen-up would have done him no harm. A recent trial will have him ready to fire here. On top. PERIWINKLE (5) weakened late when racing at Sandown-Hillside last time out and was put aside for a spell. She has the talent and is in the right grade for her return. A 4kg claim will help and from a handy gate, she is not out of this. MASTRETTA (7) built strongly to a deserved maiden win at Launceston 8 days ago. She has scope and should continue to improve with racing. Stick with her. NEEDS SUGAR (2) fought on fairly well when finishing fourth at Launceston last time out. She won't have any excuses with her fitness fourth up and will be happy to be back on this track. She is ready now to put her best hoof forward. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Needs Sugar each-way.
