GOING: G(4)

SKY RACING BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1560m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.8).  

Tactical. CLASS OF ROYALTY (1) has been threatening and go on the close-up finish at Rockhampton two back over a mile. Races forward and he should go close. AIDENABET (3) just missed at Bowen spiking his figures. Gets a stack of weight relief at this level and just has to hold the form to go close. MEDAL (2) has been plain the last two but rates well. May be worth another chance in this line-up. LIFETIME QUEST (5) may be best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Class Of Royalty.
