GOING: S(5)

MCALPIN & MAURER AUTOMOTIVE BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1412m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by All Too Rosey. THE COMANCHE (8) failed to stretch out on the heavy (8) track when a fading eighth over 1600m at Tuncurry on the quick backup. Visors go on with the claim and assess on the good maiden win two back. Leading player. SNEAKY RICH (15) eye-catching effort two back at the Gold Coast when finishing second, before struggling in the heavy going when a fading eleventh over 1400m at Tuncurry. Value chance who can turn it around. SMART JAZZ (6) was plagued by bad barriers at his last two runs and gets a much better setup for this. Nailed late by Mira Impact three back at Newcastle from the inside draw. Luke Rolls sticks on his preferred surface. Top three contender. AMARONE (3) goes well on his home track and comes back a level for this. Covered plenty of ground in the run and never a threat when seventh over 1400m at Grafton. Look for him doing his best work late. The chances don't end there. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 8,15,6,3.
