GOING: S(6)

LADBROKES BLACKBOOK BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 2076m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: True.  

Moderate pace from Sea Treasures taking it up and Royal George and Patti Waggin won't be far away. SEA TREASURES (2) was outgraded at Eagle Farm and will go a lot better this level and coming back to middle distance freshened. Won a CL3 here three back and followed with a near miss at Ipswich in a 62. Gets in well with the handy 2kg claim. VIADELAMORE (1) steps up to the middle distance and should be ready to fire. Will find this a lot easier than Eagle Farm last time and he's likely to race forward from the handy gate. Gets his chance in 58 grade. PATTI WAGGIN (8) peaks and is knocking on the door. His best would be good enough. VACATION LEAVE (4) will go a lot better back on the turf. Won her only start here over 1900m in this grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Sea Treasures.
