GOING: G(4)

Lest we forget Anzac day Thursday 25th April BENCHMARK 62 Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m 700m-300m; True Remainder.  

Strong early tempo assured with Master Gee and Swiss Babe locking horns. Former Victorian SWISS BABE (10) has hit a rich vein of form since joining the new stable with a win and two placings from three local outings. Gets up to the 1100m now and no surprise to see her play a role in the finish. The penny has dropped for ARDERN (19) who has strung two wins together this time in work and Lang stays in the irons. Can bring up the hat-trick here. ON HOLD (8) has placed two from two over this trip and rarely puts in a poor one. A must for the exotics players. LONDON POINT (11) strips fitter second-up, draws low and gets in well at the weights with the claim. In the mix. MASTER GEE (3) is yet to miss a drum in four attempts at the journey and cannot be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swiss Babe to win.
