LADBROKES YARD COMMENTS BENCHMARK 75 Handicap 1350m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Genuine tempo with Star Of Chaos to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. BRENTWOOD (1) ran below expectations last time at Eagle Farm but the prior form was good so is capable of much better. James Orman goes on and has a strong record on him, including three wins. Can bounce back. EN POINTE (8) is putting together some good results. Made it two wins and a placing from his last three when he got the job done by 1.3 lengths as favourite last time out over 1200m at this track. Must rate highly. EVOCATOR (4) was returning from a break last time out and proved too good, scoring by a long neck over 1200m at Eagle Farm. Strikes at 50 per cent when second-up so could go on with it. POETIC DRAMA (11) is worth keeping safe returning off a solid trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Playing the exotics around 1,8,4 and 11.
