OVERVIEW: SKYFALL BENCHMARK (3) was resuming since November 2022 when third behind Aliza Hill at Shepparton then won at his next two attempts. He has improved with every start this preparation and recorded a slick mile rate of 1.55.2 last outing so he must be considered as a winning chance again. SHONNY LOU (5) is a former New Zealand pacer, which has joined trainer Julie Douglas. He won at Cambridge in October and strikes a suitable assignment first up so he is not without a chance. ELATED (6) began quickly to find the lead, broke stride at the 1100m and ended up being four back on the markers when an unlucky third at Wagga last week. He is racing well and should go close if he delivers a fool proof display. ANAKIN (7) is a fast beginner and produced a brave performance when a close second behind Cheerstolou at Bendigo last week. He is racing in peak form and should make his presence felt. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,3,7 RATINGS: 3/ 5,6/ 7/ 4,8

OVERVIEW: SKYFALL BENCHMARK (3) was resuming since November 2022 when third behind Aliza Hill at Shepparton then won at his next two attempts. He has improved with every start this preparation and recorded a slick mile rate of 1.55.2 last outing so he must be considered as a winning chance again. SHONNY LOU (5) is a former New Zealand pacer, which has joined trainer Julie Douglas. He won at Cambridge in October and strikes a suitable assignment first up so he is not without a chance. ELATED (6) began quickly to find the lead, broke stride at the 1100m and ended up being four back on the markers when an unlucky third at Wagga last week. He is racing well and should go close if he delivers a fool proof display. ANAKIN (7) is a fast beginner and produced a brave performance when a close second behind Cheerstolou at Bendigo last week. He is racing in peak form and should make his presence felt. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,3,7 RATINGS: 3/ 5,6/ 7/ 4,8

OVERVIEW: SKYFALL BENCHMARK (3) was resuming since November 2022 when third behind Aliza Hill at Shepparton then won at his next two attempts. He has improved with every start this preparation and recorded a slick mile rate of 1.55.2 last outing so he must be considered as a winning chance again. SHONNY LOU (5) is a former New Zealand pacer, which has joined trainer Julie Douglas. He won at Cambridge in October and strikes a suitable assignment first up so he is not without a chance. ELATED (6) began quickly to find the lead, broke stride at the 1100m and ended up being four back on the markers when an unlucky third at Wagga last week. He is racing well and should go close if he delivers a fool proof display. ANAKIN (7) is a fast beginner and produced a brave performance when a close second behind Cheerstolou at Bendigo last week. He is racing in peak form and should make his presence felt. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,3,7 RATINGS: 3/ 5,6/ 7/ 4,8

Race comment
OVERVIEW: SKYFALL BENCHMARK (3) was resuming since November 2022 when third behind Aliza Hill at Shepparton then won at his next two attempts. He has improved with every start this preparation and recorded a slick mile rate of 1.55.2 last outing so he must be considered as a winning chance again. SHONNY LOU (5) is a former New Zealand pacer, which has joined trainer Julie Douglas. He won at Cambridge in October and strikes a suitable assignment first up so he is not without a chance. ELATED (6) began quickly to find the lead, broke stride at the 1100m and ended up being four back on the markers when an unlucky third at Wagga last week. He is racing well and should go close if he delivers a fool proof display. ANAKIN (7) is a fast beginner and produced a brave performance when a close second behind Cheerstolou at Bendigo last week. He is racing in peak form and should make his presence felt. EARLY SPEED: 6 (possible leader), 1,3,7 RATINGS: 3/ 5,6/ 7/ 4,8
