GOING: G(4)

COASTLINE MINI GARAGE PINK RIBBON CUP BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +4m Entire. (Pent: 6.18)  

Strong tempo with Italian Dancer and Seneschal leading the way over Holy Flash. Looks a competitive affair. DON'TCHA THINK (2) has a handy record over this distance range with two wins and three placings from nine attempts and will be ready to peak now third run back from the break. Should get a gun run in transit from gate four and is sure to be right there at the business end. NIGHTCAPPED (6) loves this circuit with three wins and two placings from just six spins and must be respected out of the Bruce yard. Has to be included. ITALIAN DANCER (3) hasn't put a hoof wrong with back-to-back wins this preparation and gets some weight off from the inside marble. Top-three commodity. The well-related WARNA (10) (half to G2 winner Count De Rupee) boasts a win over this track and trip and is usually about the money. In the mix. ITALIAN RIVIERA (1) next in line with the 3kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,6,3,10.

Resuming after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign fifth of 10 at Gunnedah Gunn Cup Bm92 May 24 over 1600m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Tavros with 55kg at $26. When resuming last campaign fifth of 10 at Canterbury Highway-C3 January 23 over 1200m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Lady Olenna with 57kg at $5.50. Will find this tougher than what he was up against prior to a spell and hard to see him improving enough to feature in this.
