GOING: G(4)

EDWARD STREET BENCHMARK 85 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 6m 1600m-1000m; Out 7m Remainder. (Pent: 5.81).  

Sea Raider can take up the running in a race devoid of a notable leader. MILLANE (4) was a real eye-catcher last start making up a stack of ground late to finish second here. Loves this track and trip with two wins and four placings from just seven outings and should be right there at the business end. HIDDEN WEALTH (11) beat Millane here last time out and Berry sticks in the saddle. Rates a serious contender on that form. GO WANDJI (1) gets some weight relief with the claim and looks one for the exotics. PIZARRO (8) usually reliable type who ran well below his best last start when back in eighth over 1200m at this track. Has ability and can return to form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Millane to win.
