GOING: G(4)

Ladbroke It! Benchmark 60 Handicap 1100m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 19) Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 4.52).
Expecting Fear The Sting to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. FEAR THE STING (7) is fast and was back on track belting a CL1 field here by almost 3L as a short-priced favourite. She can control the race from the paint and will be tough to peg back. GREY WHISPER (6) raced a $3 favourite and spiked her figures winning the 60. Has a low barrier and she'll go close holding the form. MR FREEZE (9) peaks and is going well. Uses the low gate and keeps Newitt. Just missed heavily supported last time and looks ready to break a winning drought. BETTER THAN BANKSY (1) won and then missed a whisker in better grade. He carries more weight at this level but the 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Fear The Sting.
