BATEMANS BAY SOLDIERS CLUB CHARITY EASTER CUP BENCHMARK 50 HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Robran and Howgoodisvegas should lock horns early at a strong tempo. ALAN (7) is on a seven-day back-up after relishing the drop in class when a sound second over 1408m at the Sapphire Coast. Nicely drawn again and can go one better here. DEADLY WEAPON (9) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1408m at Sapphire Coast. Hard fit now and suitably placed to figure prominently. MISS ARTFIRE (6) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in ninth over 1300m at Canberra. Finds a nice race and go on maiden win three back when assessing her chances. CHARLIE FOXTROT (1) mixing his form of late and will relish the drop in class after tiring to finish eighth at Goulburn BM66 on March 12 over 1300m. Claim helps and will take stopping. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alan to win.
