LEES RACING PROVINCIAL BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1890m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Sonny Fella, Dunaloce and Akauwheo will be keen early so the tempo should be genuine. MAJESTIC STYLE (5) appreciated the step up in trip last start, making up a ton of ground to be beaten narrowly over 1600m at this track. Is a winner at this distance and is cherry-ripe after three runs back - expect her to be peaking for this. SONNY FELLA (7) raced back in the field and wide so his effort to pass a handful of runners in the straight last time out over 1600m here had some merit. Again draws poorly but with a bit of luck he is a serious threat. TRAJECTILE (9) started in the red and had little trouble disposing of a maiden field over 1500m here 18 days ago. Lightly raced filly who should relish getting out to this trip, being a daughter of a VRC Oaks winner. GLOBAL ENCOUNTER (12) improved sharply last start with the blinkers back on. Genuine hope on an eight-day back-up. Market watch on SO SLEEK (2) having his first run under Kerry Parker. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quite a few strong chances - leaning to Majestic Style at each-way odds.
