GOING: S(6)

STACKS LAW FIRM BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1250m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Pace looks sure to be genuine with Nikody's Diego and All Too Rosey matching motors, closely followed by Browned Off. ALL TOO ROSEY (9) has an okay record at this track and trip and will appreciate the class drop with the claim. Jumped in distance when a fading eighth over 1512m at Port Macquarie. Assess on his narrow second here two back. Goes close. SMART JAZZ (10) far from disgraced in town when trapped wide to finish eighth over 1200m at Randwick in Highway class. Goes close if he can get cover from the awkward gate. LUCK APLENTY (17) fitter now after surprising at the big odds last start when a gritty second over 1208m at Port Macquarie. Gets a more economical run and not to be underestimated. SAVOCA (5) resumes with a handy fresh record after running some respectable races last prep. Back without a trial and leading rider booked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,10,17.5.
