Beneking has been unfortunate not to win in similar company of late and is taken to resume winning ways now that he returns to seven furlongs and gets the vote ahead of Golden Spectrum and Miskina. The last mentioned has been knocking on the door of late and has to be respected on those efforts, while Taranaki has slipped to an attractive mark and would have claims if able to reproduce his best form. Edin Burgher has yet to prove that he stays seven furlongs, while Arian's Lad was well held on his return and may need another run to put him spot on. Golden Spectrum lost no caste in defeat behind Distant Country here last time but that was over none furlongs and he may not be as effective dropped back in trip today. Beneking deserves to get his head in front though and is taken to do so today.
