GOING: S(6)

Sportsbet Green Tick Benchmark 56 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: +12m from 900m to WP, +12m from WP to 1800m, +9 metres Remainder. (Pent: 6.56)  

Off the low draw One Kind can take it up a race lacking a genuine leader. GAZELLE (6) dominated his maiden fresh at Mt Gambier then came very close to making it two on the bounce last start when heading straight to Saturday company here. Peaking now and keeps the claimer on to get her in well at the weights. The rise to 1400m suits third-up and she looks the one to beat. STOLEN KISS (7) has her hood on the till and only needs to hold her form to be fighting out the finish. Draws the A1 too. MAKE ME A STAR (8) made a mess of her rivals third-up here when putting 3.5L to her nearest rivals. Hasn't been able to go on with it against tougher opposition in her last two but this is easier and she remains right in the mix. I AM RALPH (3) has mixed his form this prep but has shown to possess a strong turn of foot on his day. Will get back from the draw and hope they overdo it in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gazelle to win.
