GOING: N

The Stables at Spreyton Benchmark 64 Handicap 1880m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Fashion Fox, Earendel and Steele My Sunshine leading the way. EARENDEL (1) stepped up to the mile and won a Hobart 60 comfortably. Has a claim today and maps for the run of the race. He has won here and can go on with it. AL MAXIMUS (3) has threatened here his last three starts. Runs the trip right out, and will come hard. FASHION FOX (6) missed a whisker here over this trip in a 66, and the form reads well. He's been kept on the fresh side. SUGOI LEGEND (5) surprised the market, narrowly beaten at Hobart over a mile. Draws better and is in the mix. STEELE MY SUNSHINE (7) tackles this distance for the first time, but is going well enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Earendel appeals most.
