GOING: G(4)

CARNEY'S FEEDSTORES GYMPIE & MURGON Colts, Geldings and Entires BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.34)  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Bold Julius. Open race to close out the card. Former Victorian ENCOURAGED (2) has hit the top-four in all four runs since joining the new stable including a win around this circuit. Reunites with winning rider Sutherland and again gets the benefit of his 2kg claim. Sure to be right there at the business end. SIR MAURICE (3) is one from one around this circuit and is another to get some weight relief. Genuine top-three contender. BOLD JULIUS (6) saves his best form for this six-furlong journey and shouldn't be underestimated. RYLOV (9) draws well and could be ready to break through off back-to-back placings. SUGGESTED PLAY: Encouraged makes each way appeal.
