XXXX GOLD BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1200m Track: Soft 7 Rain (Max: 26) Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 6.16) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting Duntroon Lass to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TRY EVERYTHING (6) has been mixing her form but was not too far from the winner here last start. She is fit and capable of a top 3 finish in another very even contest. VINDICTA (16) won a trial before failing to fire fresh up at Doomben after suffering from heat stress. A wet track will suit her, and she can make amends. Each-way. UNTOUCHABLE LEGEND (9) has had her racing well-spaced since winning fresh up and was a solid fourth at the Sunshine Coast a month ago. She handles a wet track and is well worth including in all combinations. DEPUTIZE (8) tends to mix his form but off a five-week let-up he looks one of the better chances. EXTESSIVE (11) has minor claims with the blinkers back on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Try Everything each-way.
