DOYLES SEAFOOD RESTAURANT BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 7   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.40)  

Bon Elton and Shoreman should set a strong clip. SILVER SERENADE (4) handy filly who was a total forgive from the wide barrier when a plugging ninth over 1000m at Randwick in Highway class. Earlier runs had merit and expected to return to form quickly from the inside barrier. Go close. BIVACCO (2) shed his Maiden tag at start five with a slick 3.5 len win over 1000m at Canberra. Confidence is high and expected to go on with it now. SHOREMAN (12) underrated gelding expected to go close. Stalked the good tempo when second over 1100m at this track. Doesn't get the same favours but sure to be competitive. BON ELTON (8) showed a ton of grit when sitting on the speed with the 60.5kg to salute over 1200m at Queanbeyan in fast time. Should handle this tougher contest from the low draw. Each way contender. SUGGESTED PLAY: Silver Serenade can return to winning form.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming failed to make an impression; ran last of 9 at this track Bm66 on February 12 over 1300m, 10 len behind Rileycat carrying 59kg at $91. Second-up couldn't go on with it; ran last of 8 at Nowra Bm66 on February 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Deepwater Artist carrying 58.5kg at $61. Out of his depth.
