Welcome to Warrnambool for the Midland Irrigation Benchmark 62 Handicap over the sharp 1000m sprint trip, run on a Good 4 surface under overcast skies. Looking at the early win market order, Kid Dynamite heads the betting line ahead of Hellfire Jess, Just Bolts, and What Once Was. This compact sprint field brings together a mix of seasoned campaigners and progressive types ready to rumble down the straight course at 4:00 pm AEDT.
The market leader Kid Dynamite, prepared by V L Malady and piloted by Brad Rawiller from barrier six, comes here following a narrow finish over this exact track and distance when running second, showing a liking for the circuit. Meanwhile, Just Bolts starts from barrier one for trainer Jamie Edwards and rider Teodore Nugent, dropping back from metro company with solid early speed expected to aid its chances. Hellfire Jess resumes for Tom Dabernig with Linda Meech taking the mount from barrier four, looking to build on an impressive win last campaign.
Further down the market, What Once Was catches the eye with Dean Yendall taking the reins from gate seven for trainer L Smith, coming off a dominant maiden win at Swan Hill over 975m. Speed maps show Francine and What Once Was pushing forward as leaders, while Just Bolts and Prince Sonic hold down the on-pace roles, setting up an intriguing tactical battle for punters dissecting the form line in race five.

Back from metro level and senior jock jumps back aboard. Dual winner this trip and can play a role.
ILB
Subpar when 7th last run at Cranbourne but matched against less formidable competition. Teodore Nugent is a suitable booking and drawn well. Shows good early pace. Rising in weight. Could be in the mix.
RP
Could not manage better than seventh at Cranbourne last month; has a reasonable shout as shown he can get his head in front.
RSIS
Unimpressive effort when 7th last run at Cranbourne but up against a less challenging field. Teodore Nugent is a bonus and gets the perfect stall. Displays good tactical pace.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Balaklava (beaten 3½l) last month; this is competitive and others more persuasive.
RSIS
Started 12/1 and finished 7th last run at Balaklava but can find a nice position from the draw.

Resuming (26-weeks). Competitive at this level last prep. Firmer track a positive and could give some cheek at odds fresh in this company.

Resuming after a spell of 26 weeks. Odds of $71.00 and lost ground in the run home when 12th last time at the track but lining up against easier rivals. Cannot recommend as a betting proposition.
RP
Finished towards the rear of 13 over 1m½f here (handicap) six months ago; has won at this track; doesn't have a good record when fresh; others have more pressing claims.
RSIS
Resuming after a break of 26 weeks. Was 70/1 and didn't threaten when 12th last start here but competing at a lower level of competition.

Back after a spell. Odds of $8.50 and folded up in the straight when 5th last time at Hamilton and matched against a stronger field. Rough hope.

Finished last of five over 6f at Hamilton (handicap) four months ago; has winning track form; he meets the required standard ability wise; warrants respect.
RSIS
First run back after a break. Started at 15/2 and tailed off to finish 5th last run at Hamilton on a heavy track. Shows good early pace.

Let-up (60-days). Started $26 when safely held in Benchmark 56 company in choppy conditions at Tatura second-up. Dropping in weight but hard to trust.
ILB
Was $26.00 and didn't threaten when 8th last time at Tatura and up in grade. Goes down in weight. Rough chance.

Beaten 6l in eighth at Tatura two months ago; may still have more to offer with few miles on the clock; is passed over with a few rivals in good form.
RSIS
Odds of 25/1 and couldn't stay in touch when 8th last run at Tatura and up in class. Gets some weight relief.

RSIS
Resumes after a break. Rocketed home when winning last time at Mount Gambier but stepping up to a higher level. Has a great burst of pace late. Can take this out.

Went to the front and never looked back to win by 1 1/4L last time at Swan Hill and promising career start. Form has been improving over recent runs. Good chance and definitely has claims.
RP
Signs of improvement on last two runs; scored by just over 1l in a maiden at Swan Hill when opening her account at the fifth time of asking last Tuesday; one to take seriously.
RSIS
Gave them all something to chase when winning by 1 1/4L last run at Swan Hill and good career start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Worth a serious look.
