ST JOSEPH'S RACEDAY 20 JULY BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 800m Track: GOOD 3 Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of early pace on show, particularly from Craiglea Laki and Bet Lucy. EXTREMAARTY (1) had no luck from a wide gate when resuming at Toowoomba just over a month ago and is much better placed in this from a superior gate. This field is wide open but he is good enough to take this out. SILENT ANGEL (11) did not cope with the track at Longreach which can happen to many horses on their first visit to that circuit. She was placed fresh up on this track and is poised to bounce back into the money here. Each way value. CRAIGLEA LAKI (16) has been in rock-solid form on the recent picnic circuit and she will not find this much harder. She has won twice on this track over the trip and can give this a shake. JUNGLE BEAT (8) failed to fire as favourite last start and may have found 1200 metres too far for him. He has a wide gate but is worth one more chance over this trip. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jungle Beat each-way.
