GOING: G(4)

1EQUINE - FOR THE EQUINE ATHLETE BENCHMARK 75 Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Rejoiced is expected to lead at a strong tempo. THE DEPUTY (4) got a well-deserved victory over this track and trip last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough win. Gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim and maps nicely for this from gate two. Ticks plenty of boxes for a race like this. BLANTONS RUN (8) has been very competitive in town of late and should find this assignment much more to her liking. Looms as the main danger. DOWNEY (5) was a touch disappointing at the latest effort but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. WOWIT'S WILLYWONKA (11) is a four-time winner around this circuit and is better than recent outings suggest. Looks one for the multiples. BEAU WITNESS (3) strips fitter third-up from the spell and may earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Deputy to win again.

Expect a bold showing.
