GOING: S(6)

SEARLES GARDEN PRODUCTS QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: True.  

Strong tempo from What A Doozy, Hidden Nugget and Got Gumption. What A Doozy, Hidden Nugget and Got Gumption can set a strong tempo. COUNT THE DOUGH (7) led all the way and clung on to a short-head victory at long odds at the Sunshine Coast 4 weeks ago. He has an extra furlong to deal with here, but on this circuit, he will take a lot of pegging back. TIPSY TIGER (10) fought on gamely when finishing second by a neck at Gatton just over 6 weeks ago. She was placed in her only start on this track, and if not in need of the run, she can go one better. GOT GUMPTION (3) had absolutely no luck at Toowoomba last time out, and his nose win at Gatton before that is the guide to use. He has a superior gate and can bounce straight back into the money here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Count The Dough each way.
