Verdict

BENZINO (2) was a dominant winner in town two back before just finding one better at Ipswich last time out. Gets 4lbs off with the claim and maps ideally for this from the low draw. Sure to make his presence felt against this line-up. MAKAMAE (10) goes well for hoop Sutherland who has two wins and four placings from nine steers. Is a two-time winner around this circuit and has to be included in calculations. TRUMP CARD (1) was a touch disappointing at the latest effort but the form prior was full of merit. Can bounce right back without surprising. PENDING LIST (11) has been right there at the past four outings and only needs some luck from the sticky draw to be featuring in the finish. OLD FAITHFUL (9) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on.
