000 PLUMBING SERVICES AUSTRALIA BENCHMARK 58 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Off the low draw Teetotal is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. SALUTE AGAIN (1) has returned in solid form this campaign, finishing in the placings in both starts, including a strong third last time out at Randwick over 1400m where he worked home nicely from midfield. With added fitness and a race that looks to suit tempo-wise, he appears poised to go one better and notch a well-deserved win. YAM (8) is two runs into his preparation and while his results have been modest so far, he’s shown glimpses. A more genuine tempo and step up in distance could bring out his best. RELEASE THE BRAKES (14) gave backers a sight from the front at Kerang and held on gamely for third. The booking of McDougall from the inside pillar reads favourably. Must take seriously. TEETOTAL (5) has a stack of early speed and strips rock-hard fit. Will give plenty of cheek. SUGGESTED PLAY: Salute Again to win.
