GOING: S(7)

THE SHED COMPANY BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 800m

Track: Soft 7   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. ENUFF PILLS (4) loves this course and distance with three wins and four placings from just seven attempts. Has hit a purple patch of late and it's hard to knock mares in form. Expected to be right there when the judge calls a halt. RAN NA LADY (6) saves her best form for this sprint journey and will strip fitter third-up from the spell. Top-three aspirations. FEMME FATALE (5) maps well from gate two and should give backers a sight. MAGURO (2) grows a leg for hoop Wheeler who has four wins and a placing from seven steers. Worth serious consideration. GYPSY TRICKS (7) next in line from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Enuff Pills to continue the rich vein of form.
