Taking a little stance against Regal Commander here and leaving him out of my top 4. With a gun barrier draw, a noted front-running apprentice and a 1.5kg weight swing on Volkoff I'm going with Benito to break a long run of outs. There is a serious lack of 1000m 72+ handicaps making it very hard for David Harrison to place Benito, a genuine 1000m sprinter. Has only been able to get into two 1000m races this preparation and they have both been Listed events where he has run into Sheidel. For now 1100m is as good as it gets and this looks a very winnable race for him. Volkoff is absolutely flying and the obvious danger again. Woolibar has met solid pre-post support on most markets suggesting he will run a race first-up. In this leg of the quaddie I'm going with: Benito, Pininci, Woolibar, Volkoff and Regal Commander. But from a betting perspective I'll be playing Benito places heavy and laying Regal Commander who I think is vulnerable first-up in a big field which oozes quality.

@thefalcon I know o then racing australia website they have the SP as $7.50 but everywhere else(sportsnet, unibet, betstar) it says $26-31. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened had it won.

Mitchell rode a treat yesterday and not just because I won either. His ride on Keysbrook showed plenty of initiative he knew that pike was bailed up when he went on the March. His ride on eurosun wasn't great but he was just stiff not to get 3 wide with cov...
