LADBROKES YARD COMMENTS BENCHMARK 65 Handicap (4YO only QTIS bonuses applicable) 1350m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 10m Entire. (Pent: 5.85).  

Porky can set a good tempo. Waller-trained SKYWRITER (10) gave away a start but was much too good for the Maidens here over this distance. Maloney sticks and is likely to sit handier today from an inside gate. She looks capable of taking the next step. NIGHTSTICK (9) brings strong form from the poly and was backed off the map winning the 58 last time. Keeps Rodd and maps for the run of the race. Hasn't raced on the turf for a long while and that's a slight niggle.BANDASHA (3) is up to this and can show more third-up. Has the blinkers first-time applied and he will be looking to secure a soft run from the inside barrier. SHY GUY (6) resumes for Waller off a GR 3 over a middle distance. In good hands and no surprise to see him finish hard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Skywriter.
