GOING: S(6)

FARDELLS HEAVY HAULAGE & CRANE HIRE SHOWCASE BENCHMARK 82 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Strong pace from Castlebar Road and Yukan Rose matching motors with Destiny's Bounty close at hand. CASTLEBAR ROAD (3) has excellent credentials over this track and trip and kept fresh for this. No match for the in-form Fangela when seventh over 1000m at Canberra. Gets good weight relief again with the claim. Will take catching. YUKAN ROSE (8) had genuine excuses at her first run back from the wide draw when a fading seventh over 1000m at Taree in the heavy going. Drops further in weight today and has a good second-up record. Value prospect. CUMNOCK (11) two of his three wins have come at this course and looks to have strengthened up over the break. Sprouted wings over the closing stages when a tenacious winner over 1000m at this track. Up in grade and not to be underestimated. DESTINY'S BOUNTY (5) resumes with a handy first-up record. Back without a trial and his best form is over this trip. One for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 3,8,11,5.
