GOING: S(7)

LOCKYER VALLEY WASTE MANAGEMENT BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 7     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Boult leading the way. PASSIONATE REBEL (3) has been solid in two runs since a fresh win, last time finishing one length from the winner in second at this track and trip. Race fit and has the ability to find the winners' list. SIENNA'S AWARD (5) gave away a start then ran on to win at this course and distance last time out. Winning rider Brooke Ainsworth sticks. Should be involved in the finish. IVANOV (4) continued a run of top-four finishes when beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth last time. Has strong top-three prospects. SCOTTISH PRINCE (2) won the only time he raced here and can show more third up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Passionate Rebel.
