GOING: S(5)

INLAND PETROLEUM BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +2m 900m-400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.90)  

Pace strong with Parmenio and This One Time leading with Procyon Miss nearby. ROCK 'N' REIGN (3) led all the way at a big price two runs back then backed it up with a handy run up in grade at Tamworth last time. Wide gate again but good each-way chance. THIS ONE TIME (10) broke through for a nice win at Tamworth in a maiden second-up but could go on with it up in class. PRESS FORWARD (4) is another last start winner and was solidly supported in getting that done. Drawn well and must be respected. CURLY BEND (12) scored a breakthrough win here second-up and is in the mix while THAT'S BETTER (1) could show up fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rock 'N' Reign each-way.

Wide gate a concern but is speedy and can give a good sight.

Last couple poor but on best form is some hope.

Struck form second-up and still lightly raced so has to be respected.
