GOING: S(5)

CAMPBELL'S FUEL BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

There should be a bit of pressure with She's Enuff and Meddlesome pressing forward in advance of Navy Steel and Mazita. NAVY STEEL (2) progressive gelding chasing his third win at his fourth run this time in. Put a handy field away with the 59.5kg in the heavy going over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Up slightly in weight and can keep the winning momentum going. Trainer and jockey combo are on fire at present. MAZITA (1) smart on his day and was a total forgive from the outside gate with the 63kg when twelfth over 1400m at Wellington. Winning rider back aboard and assess on his good victory four back. UNDER TWENTY TWO (3) bounced back quickly at his latest effort with the 60kg when a fighting second over 1435m at Grafton. A repeat of that performance will see him go close. RAISED BY WOLVES (11) had genuine excuses at his last two outings and will find this easier on a firmer surface. Drops in weight again and represents good each-way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Navy Steel to salute again.
