YALUMBA FAMILY WINEMAKERS BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong pace from Duck For Cover and Satness matching motors with Savaii close at hand. CHANGE MY ADDRESS (6) was run off her feet early then started to gather them up in the run home when beaten just over a length over 1100m at Randwick last start. Down in grade and is looking for this sort of trip now. Very fit and poised to win. PAPPA BLUE (10) was ridden with intent last time out and responded by digging deep to score his maiden win over this distance at Scone. Big step up today but at just his fourth race start there is plenty of room for progress. Hardy veteran SATNESS (1) recorded his sixth Kembla win recently when he led from the outset and defied spirited challengers over today's journey. Only goes up 1kg after the claim in a slightly weaker race so he is a serious chance once again. JOHNNY (5) has been finding the line with gusto this prep in shorter races on tighter tracks. Today's fourth-up run sets up perfectly. EXTRA HEIGHTS (4) is racing well in town and is not out of the picture. SUGGESTED PLAY: Change My Address to win the last.
