GOING: S(5)

AYRETON INDUSTRIES BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Expecting a modest tempo established by Bit Of Grunt who can cross from the outside draw. OUT OF ACES (1) came back in fine fashion with a close-up third here and will appreciate the step-up to the mile journey now second-up from the break. Gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. CHAYSE 'N' ADAM (9) will be ready to peak now fourth run back and gets Melbourne Cup winning hoop Dolan on board from the low draw. Can find the winners' list. SAMMAAN CITY (11) has hit a bit of form at the past few efforts and is another to draw favourably. In the mix. KOVANOS (8) has a win and a placing from four spins around this circuit and maps ideally from gate one. Can fill the frame. BIT OF GRUNT (4) next in line despite the sticky draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Out Of Aces
