GOING: S(5)

COMMERCIAL KITCHEN COMPANY BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1300m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +9m 900m-400m; +6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.91)  

Bias, Port River Billie and Carpaccio can set a genuine tempo. PUNGO (3) put the writing on the wall when finishing runner-up by a length here 2 weeks ago. He is facing a similarly large field and will be at his peak third up. A good draw makes him the one to beat. OCEAN ALPS (5) overcame a rocky run to score by half-a-head here just over 4 weeks ago. She has won a trial at Beaudesert since then and is nicely placed after a 3kg claim. She is in a good space and the hat-trick beckons. HEYOKA (8) is another mare chasing a hat-trick after her most recent win at Beaudesert just over 5 weeks ago. She has been close up in a recent Doomben trial since then and has to be among the hardest to beat again. SUSPECT (13) was found to have suffered from cardiac arrhythmia last time out at Doomben. He drops down in class and can make amends. CARPACCIO (12) watch closely fresh up. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pungo to win.
