GOING: S(5)

SELECT FIRE SYSTEMS Colts, Geldings and Entires BENCHMARK 78 Handicap 1110m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.30)  

Solid tempo likely from the outset with Mr Galazi and Epic Proportions prominent. BOSSED UP (12) returned in fine fashion with a close-up third at Toowoomba and will have derived a stack of benefit from that hit-out. Drops sharply in weight here and has won second-up before. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. PAYLINE (10) is one from one over this course and distance and doesn't know how to run a bad race. Only needs some luck from the sticky draw to feature in the finish. BUSTING (13) is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside alley and gets the deadly Gollan/Jones combination. Top-three candidate. EPIC PROPORTIONS (2) got the chocolates at Eagle Farm last start and will take confidence from that victory. In the mix. DEEP RESPECT (1) saves his best form for this circuit and can run a race while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 12,10,13,2.
