GOING: G(4)

LAWRENCE & HANSON BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1890m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +1.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Solid tempo with Swiper leading from Martini Dancer and Maurita. Tricky. MALECON (2) went back to back here, and then 70 grade proved too much of a challenge at Ipswich. Better suited here and over the shorter trip. The 2kg claim is handy, and she can bounce with average luck from an outside barrier. SWIFT SON (8) didn't manage the wide gate at the Sunshine Coast in stronger, but had been racing well here prior. A much better effort is anticipated. WHATADILEMMA (6) likely had an excuse at Dalby but he had threatened the two prior this track/trip. Needs luck from the wide gate, but he's capable of making the finish. SHOUTS ALL DAY (7) steps up to this trip for the first time, and her effort at Warwick two back over 1500m suggests she might manage it. Look for her late. KNEZE (1) improved here last time and will push forward on a quick backup. The 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Malecon.
