GDL BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1000m Track: HEAVY 9 Rail: Out 2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
A stack of early pressure, primarily from Hayai Uma and Keenzap. REDZOUST (8) resumes and is much better than the form line suggests. Was within range in town his last three with the latest at Eagle Farm in a 78. May need one but draws handy and is hard to risk. HAYAI UMA (9) spaced the 60 graders at Warwick before the spell and then returned to the track even better blitzing a 65 field at Ipswich. Rates well but has a sticky barrier and has to run out the extra 200m. That's the niggle. JACK BE LUCKY (2) hasn't raced since finishing seventh over 1110m at Doomben four-and-a-half months ago. Placed in a recent trial. Goes well first up. Among the chances. AIN'T SHE LOVELY (5) came from a wide gate and could only manage to finish seventh last time out over 1100m at Warwick. Draws out again but capable of a bold run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jack Be Lucky each-way.
