GOING: G(4)

Rock Trade Industries BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 2000m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 0.5m 700m-275m. True Remainder.  

Genuine early pace with Boult showing out while Presley will cross from an outside gate. CHASSAGNE (3) has hit a purple patch of form with a win and three seconds from her past four starts and this is not an overly strong affair. The step-up to the 2000m here suits and must be respected from the Neasham barn. Looks the one to catch. SEA TREASURES (2) has placed four of seven over this journey and has been racing consistently of late. Should be right there when the whips are cracking. PRESLEY (4) just missed the placings in town last time out and will find this assignment and easier task. Top-three candidate. CALM BUCKLE (5) is a bit of a hit-or-miss type but may play a role if he brings his best. HELEN'S DREAM (11) gets in light with the claim and can trouble the judge. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Quinella 3,2,4.
