GOING: S(7)

CABAC BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1400m Track: SOFT 7 Clear (Max: 16) Rail: Out 10m Entire.
Koby Girl to take up the running at a strong tempo. NAVAL SEAL (2) may need more ground to show best but looks right at home in this type of grade resuming. Proven fresh performer up in weight but must take seriously after two recent trials. POPPIN' CHAMPAGNE (4) made impressive progress last time in including a placing at listed level over a mile. Recent trial was strong and despite a worrying draw has genuine claims. AUNTY RENE (9) didn't have a lot go her way first up in a handy race and the added trip plays in her favour. With a more favourable draw now and added fitness can measure up in tougher. BEND THE KNEE (1) gets no favours with a wide draw and top weight but did get back to near his best in latest offering. This trip is ideal and only needs an ounce of luck to figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aunty Rene each-way.
