Race preview

Welcome to the Sportsbet Feed Benchmark 66 over the 1400m journey at Mt Gambier, where punters are lining up to dissect a fascinating battle on a Soft 5 track under fine skies. The win market sets an intriguing puzzle, with Flaming Navy currently heading calculations as the market elect. Sitting right behind at the head of betting are Stargust, Min Kiata, and Forever Waiting, rounding out the early fancies in what shapes as a tactical contest for the ages.

Taking a closer look at the form behind those shorter prices, Flaming Navy resumes here following a let-up after finishing down the track in a Morphettville Parks benchmark event. Travis Doudle's charge is drawn out wide in barrier eight but boasts strong gate speed and a handy fresh record, with Sophie Potter taking the reins. Meanwhile, Min Kiata brings progressive form to the table, having led throughout to score over 1200m here previously. Wayne Walters has this runner firing, and while facing a tougher test today, the stable is certainly going well. Stargust also commands respect after going within a whisker of victory in a local benchmark 56 over this exact 1400m trip last month.

Further down the line, we see a couple of speed factors ready to mix things up. Flaming Navy and Min Kiata are mapped as the early leaders, meaning they could dictate terms out front unless pressure arrives from the offpace runners like Stargust. Forever Waiting is another worthy inclusion on recent local efforts over this track and distance, finishing close up in similar grade. It is an open affair where track position will be crucial, so check those late moves and back your judgement accordingly.

AAP

Let-up (67-days). Finished a long way from the action (Bm68) at Morphettville Parks. Drawn out but has good gate speed. Key contender fresh in this company if he gets the breaks.

ILB

Resumes after a spell. Started at $14.00 and weakened to finish 10th last time at Morphettville. Has the ability to turn things around and goes down in grade. Will go close.

RP

Last of ten over 1m at Morphettville (handicap) in August; has achieved three wins from 11 career runs; respected.

RSIS

First run back after a break. Was 13/1 and weakened under pressure when 10th last time at Morphettville. Is capable of a resurgence and facing a weaker group of contenders. Winning potential.

Comments

AAP

Highly progressive winning 3 from 9. Led and held sway to win this venue. Leads, handy. Ratings lift after that win but stays under strong notice at same level.

ILB

Went to the front and never looked back to win by a margin of 3/4L last start here. Can't knock the form winning 2 on the bounce. Can measure up against these.

RP

Bidding for hat-trick; narrow success in a handicap last month; easy to see him making an impression.

RSIS

Controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 3/4L last run at this track. Undefeated last 2 runs. Should come to hand quickly. Solid chance.

AAP

Had all before her at turn and went home tamely this venue. Not fancied.

ILB

Was $11.00 and disappointing display when 8th last run at this track but will try to take advantage of the draw. Can go through the gears. Keep safe.

RP

Specialist here with three wins; finished last of eight over 6f here (handicap) last month.

RSIS

At 10/1 below standard effort when 8th last start at this track but will try to take advantage of the stall. Displays good closing pace.

AAP

Handy competitor. Narrow miss in the (Bm56) this venue 20 Sep. Makes a strong case in this company.

ILB

Narrowly denied a win last start at the track and will appreciate the drop in weight. Very competitive this campaign. Strong prospects in this race.

RP

Consistent lately; has won here before; not beaten far; closely matched with Forever Waiting on that running last month.

RSIS

Threw down a serious challenge last time at this venue and carrying less weight this time. Has run into the money multiple times lately. Expect a forward showing.

Gave good account (Bm56) this venue over this distance. Right in the mix.

RP

Close up behind Stargust when fourth last month; others more appealing with this looking like a hot contest.

RSIS

Started 9/2 and got going late when 4th last start at the track and suited by the weight drop. Running with confidence since resuming from a break.

Solid effort when beaten just under 2l to finish fifth over 6f at Strathalbyn (handicap) last month; useful in this grade; knows how to win so has prospects.

RSIS

At 11/1 picked up some late ground when 5th last run at Strathalbyn and gets a reduction in weight.

AAP

Strong win over 1400m 3yo+ Mdn Plate this track over this journey. Can make her presence felt again.

ILB

Charged home to win last time at the track and will appreciate a good barrier. Might be ridden for luck. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Can't suggest backing.

RP

Shown recent signs of improvement; won a maiden by 1l when off the mark last month; despite that Mt Gambier success, can be taken on.

RSIS

Strong effort to the line to win last time at this track and has minimal work to do from the stall. Does take a while to get into stride.

Comments

AAP

Long winless run. Started $12 when battled home in Restricted 54 company this course. Lacks appeal here.

ILB

Was $12.00 and ran 6th last start at the track and testing ability against stronger contenders. Very hard to have.

RP

Beaten 7l (sixth) here over 7½f (handicap) last month; not a frequent winner; this looks a decent race so he can be taken on.

RSIS

Odds of 11/1 and came in 6th last start at this track and rising in grade.

Odds correct as at . Odds can change.
