GOING: G(4)

Spry Civil Construction Raceday 25th May Benchmark 56 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 7m Entire. Out 4m 1200m Chute.  

Slick pace with Jamcra finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. FIRST TOSEN (2) couldn't live up to market support last time at Horsham when sent out public elect but was far from disgraced. Strips fitter and is 1/1 third up. Ready. FIZIQUE (9) has continued to knock on the door after saluting at Strathalbyn back in February. Back in trip off the short freshen (35 days). Rates highly on best figures and can give this a big shake. SOUTHERN SHOOTER (4) warmed to his task nicely first up at Balaklava when closing off solidly into the frame. Is sure to have improved with that run under the belt and is in the mix. JAMCRA (6) was a determined winner two back at Clare but struggled to follow it up last time. Don't dismiss from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with First Tosen.
