GOING: G(4)

PRYDE'S EASIFEED BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: +1.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.85)  

Son Of Beebee to take up the running with Data Leak and Drang A Tang close at hand. DRANG A TANG (4) is right on the improve. He easily goes his best at this course and showed it last outing with a fairly dominant victory. Looks the one to beat with the claim as well. COUNT THE COIN (2) was very decent when going first up at Warwick. He also improves nicely second up so expecting an even better run. DATA LEAK (8) usually runs a good race. He should get a lovely run in transit and give a good sight. ELECTED (5) simply gave away far too much ground a fortnight back. Would love a softer track. GROOVIN' THE MOO (1) should be ready to fire now with the added fitness. Can be placed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Drang A Tang looks the one.
