GOING: G(4)

Vale Fred Westwood Benchmark 60 Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 4.52).  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Saxon Mist. SAXON MIST (4) has won his last two over this distance and keeps improving. 4 Winners have come out of the latest and keeping the handy 3kg claim she can keep the ball rolling. BRAZEN IMPACT (5) led and turned the form around belting the 62 graders at Launceston by 4L over 1620m. He will run along from the rail and is a chance to repeat. ADACHI (2) has been around the mark and had excuses last time from a wide barrier. Has an inside gate today and has been kept on the fresh side. Consider. RIGOLETTO (1) keeps racing well and the 3kg claim brings him into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Saxon Mist.
