GOING: S(5)

RACING AGAIN SATURDAY 23RD MAY BENCHMARK 50 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Keen tempo with Lollies and Too Many Kisses prominent. NEVERENOUGHLEGO (1) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1050m at Rockhampton, getting home by 0.9 lengths. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well. LOLLIES (4) is a speedy filly who was a winner first-up at Thangool. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and best form puts her right in this. HUMBLE HERO (5) did a good job last start to finish second over 1200m at Thangool, beaten 2.25 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. CAPRICORNUS (7) made a nice return two back then met with solid backing but disappointed when sixth over 1200m at Thangool two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver who can feature in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Neverenoughlego to bring up the hat-trick.
