GOING: S(5)

Spry Civil Construction Benchmark 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: +9m 1200m Chute, +12m 800m-W/Post, +9m Remainder. (Pent: 6.00)  

Thermodynamic should find the front with Bywaters Road and We've Gotta Deel on his heels. KATIM'S CLUB (1) has been racing well in much stronger races of late and looks extremely well placed back to this grade. She goes up in weight but gets a handy claim for an in-form apprentice. She deserves to be a short-priced favourite. The Jaensch pair of WE'VE GOTTA DEEL (6) and TURNED LOOSE (11) look like the dangers. Both horses have the ability on their day, especially the latter who is building a nice middle-distance profile. FLEURIEU FLIPPER (5) was huge from the back last time and is on the cusp of another win, while ALAINGE (9) must be included after a breakthrough win for the new stable last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Katim's Club to handle these and win.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 8 at this track Bm76 on July 12 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Starts Now with 54.5kg at $4.80. The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Gawler 4yo+ Bm66 on July 5 over 1500m, on a slow track; nose behind Motorace with 57kg at $6.50. Looks hard to beat with the claim back in this grade.
