RAY WHITE IPSWICH BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1670m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 28)   Rail: Out 1m Entire. (Pent: 5.4).  

Solid tempo with Hit 'Em Up leading from Yalla and Blagny. PICK ZA BEANS (2) has raced in better class at her two most recent. She spaced a 62 field prior and that effort is the best measure of her chances. Maps well and has the blinkers on again. YALLA (6) hasn't won for a while but is right up to this at best. Jones replaces the 3kg apprentice and she will run her along from the inside gate. Metro-trained BLAGNY (5) resumes and will come into her own over further. She's placed fresh and kicking off over the 1670m shouldn't be an issue. Maps well and CGC stays aboard. HIT 'EM UP (3) resumed in good order at Gatton and was heavily backed there following and pulled up with an issue. He maps well and a senior hoop goes on. A winning chance at best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Pick Za Beans.
