GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Bet With Mates Benchmark 56 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Come Along Jeffrey to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. ANDREW’S MEMORY (6) is yet to break through this campaign but finds a suitable assignment dropping in grade and finally draws a favourable gate. Gets in well with the 3kg claimer engaged and rises to his pet trip on the quick back-up. Plenty to like. He's the one to beat. SPIRIT OF FLIGHT (13) has been solid in two runs back without threatening. Already a winner here and should be hitting her straps now third-up. Shapes as the main danger. SEE YA LATER BABY (16) has gone under as favourite in both runs back but the efforts have had merit. Strips fitter and remains among the winning hopes. CHARLESFORT (15) had no luck last start, getting out too late yet still picking up sharply into fourth. He’s a winner here but drawn the carpark, so will be left with plenty to do when straightening. SUGGESTED PLAY: Andrew's Memory to win.

Returns from a 47-day let-up. Last start led to the turn then faded 7th of 10 at Naracoorte Bm64 on November 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Cork Harbour with 58.5kg at $18. The run before that led to the turn then faded 6th of 11 at Halidon Bm64 on October 19 over 1200m, 3 len behind Charlesfort with 59kg at $17. Hard to make a case.
