GOING: G(3)

EUREKA STUD BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 5.89).  

Plenty of pace evident with Patmos Island and Whisky Dream leading the way from The Nephew and Victory Win. TANNENBURG (13) is racing well having hit the line strongly to place in both runs since scoring over this distance at Eagle Farm. Building a handy record at the mile and draws for a soft run so has strong claims. VICTORY WIN (6) is in fine form with with top-three finishes at his last four starts, most recently scoring over 1615m at this track. That took his strike rate around the mile to 50 per cent. Leading player. WHISKY DREAM (9) made a winning return when scoring by 2 lengths last time out over 1300m at Toowoomba. Fitter and won his lone attempt at this journey so he is one of the chief contenders. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tannenburg goes on top.
