GOING: H(8)

LEST WE FORGET QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1800m

Track: HEAVY 8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with High Class Roller leading the way. BOLD BLAZE (4) only went down by the narrowest of margins last time out and looks to be building up to another victory. Stewart sticks in the saddle following that last-start placing and should be right there when the whips are cracking. KAFFIR LILY (3) has been plying her trade in much harder Group company and will appreciate the drop back in grade here. Look for a much improved performance. SAN JOSE BOY (1) is a consistent conveyance who will be high on confidence following a last-start win. Has to be included. HIGH CLASS ROLLER (2) has been right there in recent efforts and rarely puts in a poor one. One for the exotics players. CRIMSON SPIRIT (7) next in line from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,3,1,2.
