Sportsbet Set A Deposit Limit Benchmark 56 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: Out 7m 1200m Chute. Out 10m Remainder. (Pent: 5.35).  

Solid pace with Harbouring finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. GLOBAL TURN (7) is ready to make her return for the smart Phillip Stokes team. Strikes a very winnable assignment in this grade and strips fitter for a sharp trial here in readiness. Drawn well and is expected to take some stitching. SOAMES (1) also resumes and is another that will appreciate the easier grade. Takes benefit from placing in recent trial here. Shouldn't have to spend a penny from the draw and looks the main threat. JIVE BABY (14) returned with a bang at Gawler when swooping on her rivals late to score. Tougher this time and is drawn tricky again but warrants good thought. PRETTY RELIABLE (12) returns. Failed to make an impact at the back end of last prep but was a smart trial winner here in readiness. Drawn awfully but has to be kept safe off recent trial. Last start winner HARBOURING (2) should also be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Global Turn gets the nod.
