GOING: S(5)

DiGiorgio Family Wines Rating 0 - 56 Handicap 2030m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Jamrock crossing from the outside gate in search of the lead. BACK ME UP BENNY (1) is yet to strike through this campaign but has turned in some strong performances. Sets up perfectly for this and is the one to beat. EIGHT ON THE DOT (2) has been below his best in his last two when tackling tougher opposition. Was much better earlier in the prep and while he's drawn awfully, his best will have him featuring. LUCANIA (7) showed good tactical speed last start at Mt Gambier and fought on gamely to hold down a minor placing. Key chance if he can hold that form. BENZ BARON (14) was an eye-catcher last start at Balaklava. Drawn kinder this time and is among the winning chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Back Me Up Benny to win.
