GOING: S(5)

SOUTHERN SUBURBS JRLFC FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.90)  

Viale and Command Approved will likely pair off in front. VIALE (7) has a solid record here on her home surface with two wins and two placings from just four spins and gets in well at the weights with the 2kg claim. Expected to give backers a sight in a race that shapes up ideally. Think he gets the prize ahead of COMMAND APPROVED (5) who got the job done here at his latest outing and will be ready to peak now third-up from the break. Looms as the main danger. JEMELDI (3) has been thereabouts at the past couple and may trouble the judge with luck in running while TRAPEZE WARRIOR (1) comes up next in line with the 2kg claim. That doesn't hurt against an even lot away from the top pick. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Viale.
