GOING: S(6)

Sportsbet Photo Finish Refund Benchmark 56 Handicap 900m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: +12m from 900m to WP, +12m from WP to 1800m, +9 metres Remainder. (Pent: 6.56)  

Tanna and Squad should set a strong clip. ZOUTRAIL (10) doesn't win out of turn but is knocking on the door and looks to have finally found his race. Drawn sticky but has proven versatile with his speed and boasts peaks that can take care of them. KORATORA (5) drops back to the 900m burner over a month between runs and will find this easier. Draws to land in a perfect spot up on speed under Crowther and looks a big threat. STEEL TSUNAMI (3) didn't fire a shot fresh but has since gone back to the trials where he was first past the post. Blinkers go on first time and he gets an important 3kg claim. Not taking lightly. AZTEC DANCER (4) is a track and trip specialist but is yet to salute fresh. Watch for her darting through late. SIOUX WARRIOR (2) has struck a purple patch of form as he shoots for the hat-trick. Backs up quickly and deserves obvious respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Zoutrail.

Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 13 at Morphettville Bm64 on June 20 over 1050m, in the wet; 6 len behind Babayka carrying 56.5kg at $19. The run before that won by a head at Balaklava Bm56 May 20 over 1050m on a soft track defeating Brimarvi Rosemarie with 59.5kg at $41. Rates highly and is worth another chance.
