GOING: G

Eyre Car Centre Benchmark 68 Handicap 1210m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Solid pace likely with All Clubs prominent along with Tydeus crossing from an outside gate. LAVA LAD (6) was flying with four wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing fifth here. Potter who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. GEORGIEGINA (12) kept coming only to just miss out on the hat-trick here last start. Peak fitness now and is drawn to take much closer order. Have to take seriously. MCKEEVER (4) dominated his rivals fresh but couldn't follow it up here last time. Freshened with 37 days and steps back out to a winning trip. Can bounce back sharply. EVENING BRIDE (11) was a barnstorming winner here last time and will relish the anticipated tempo. Watch for her launching again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Lava Lad.
