GOING: H(10)

BUTERIN LESTRANGE- COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL & RETAIL SPECIALISTS BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 900m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 5m 800m-400m. Out 3m Remainder; Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 6.2).  

Lots of speed predominantly from Outishka and Polylithic. CURL CURL (1) racing in career best form and will prove hard to stop again with the claim from the good gate. Gave them a galloping lesson when a dominant 1.5 len victory over 900m at Newcastle as fav on June 15. Can measure up again in this similar contest. IN A STEP (10) never comfortable in the heavy (10) going when a tiring sixth over 900m at Newcastle two-and-a-half weeks ago. Go on run prior when assessing his prospects. Improver. OUTBACK RINGER (6) gelding returning from a four-month break after failing to come up last time in. Trained on the track and the blinkers go on and the winkers come off. Must be kept safe. OUTISHKA (2) resumes today and has excellent first-up stats. Sat on the speed with 58kg when a gritty third over 900m at Newcastle on March 21. Claim helps and expected to figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,10,6,2.
