The Damien Lane stable will supply three runners to Gosford on Thursday, December 7 with unsettled weather conditions currently racing on a soft five.
R1
BREAKERS CLASS 1 HANDICAP (SCALED – 0.5KG)
1600m
Class: Class 1, Handicap
4.
Bend It Like Benny (1) tsb 5yoG
The first of the stable runners will see Bend It Like Benny enter in a class one handicap over a mile with Serg Lisnyy aboard the 15 to 1 pop jumping from barrier one.
Last time out the five-year-old gelding finished eight of 13/1400 m at Scone in a class one and the small field will make it interesting dropping 5.5 kg from that run and a forward showing would not surprise.
The next stable runner will see The Brown One compete at odds of 12 to 1 in a BM 67 over thousand metres with Serg Lisnyy to ride jumping from barrier 4.
R4
RHEEM BENCHMARK 67 HANDICAP

Class: BM67, Handicap

The Brown One is an eight-year-old mare who was last seen finishing fourth of 9/1200 m at Quirindi, going down narrowly on that occasion.
She has good early speed and has proven herself on soft tracks with eight wins coming via rain-affected going.
