SKY RACING BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 29)   Rail: True Entire Course.. (Pent: 5.81)  

Arabian Rose to take charge ahead of Blazen Boots at a good tempo. ARABIAN ROSE (12) has hit a purple patch of late winning her past two in dominant fashion and is racing with a lot of confidence. Hard to knock mares in form and looks the one they all have to run down. ROCK THE SUNRISE (13) is a consistent conveyance who doesn't know how to put in a poor one and gets in on the minimum weight here. Looms as the main danger. CHAMIERRO (5) has put back-to-back wins together including one around this circuit last time out. Ready for the mile journey now. NOBLE CONQUEROR (8) got home nicely without threatening to finish ninth over 1400m at this track last time. Will appreciate more ground today and third up can feature. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arabian Rose to bring up the hat-trick.
