GOING: S(6)

BRC MEMBERSHIP BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 2200m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 28)   Rail: +1m Entire. (Pent: 6.14)  

Calm Seeker should be able to comfortably find the front. ROLLER COASTER (3) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-four in all four runs this preparation and will be at peak fitness for this. Looms as the main danger. BEDFORD SQUARE (1) has won around this circuit, draws the inside alley and gets some weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. OUTBURST (2) got the job done over this track and trip last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. In the mix. CALM SEEKER (4) is another last-start winner who should not be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Roller Coaster to break through.
