GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Racing Club BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1560m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 25) Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.7).
Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. BLUE RAY (1) did not take long to find winning form for his new connections when scoring here by a neck just over 2 weeks ago. He won't find this much harder and will still be on the up with his fitness. On top. GIGI FILLE (10) had the blinkers on last start and they worked the trick as she broke through for her first win after a couple of indifferent runs to open this campaign when well-found in the market. Now that the penny has dropped, she can go right on with the job. KELLERS SHELTER (5) has shown some improvement since joining the Tracy Simmons stable and only missed out on winning another race by a nose here 11 days ago. He was unlucky in his prior start and an upset winner 3 starts back. He is in a good space and should be right in the finish again. BOLD ZIP (12) has been running on strongly in his last couple of starts and was third last time out. The extra 260m will suit him. Each way value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blue Ray to win.
