GOING: G(4)

Seafront Group Benchmark 62 Handicap 1215m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Wanted In A Gust heading them off. VEXATIOUS DANCER (5) paid her supporters here two days ago when digging deep to get the verdict. Drawn to advantage and should prove very tough to reel in again. JAAZEB (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1050m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. REAL VALENTIA (6) chased gamely into fifth behind Vexatious Dancer last start. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. ROYAL FOX (1) returns and looks best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vexatious Dancer to win again.

Useful mare. At the latest run favourite; won by a long-neck at this track Bm62 February 20 over 1050m defeating Rodney with 58kg at $1.70.

Draws well and another big run is in store.
