GOING: S(6)

GOGGLE BOX BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Crowie's Shout should roll forward from a wide gate, West Germany has some speed and Steam Clock can settle handy. HIGHLY TEMPTED (11) is racing well this time in with a Taree win two back on heavy then a solid third behind a very smart one at Newcastle. Take plenty of beating. TOY STORY (6) is hard to fault with placings at past three and with the claim gets in nicely. Definite chance. PENNYPACKER (4) was a shade disappointing last time but prior form has him in the mix. CROWIE'S SHOUT (1) and MR VILLA (5) are worth including in the chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Highly Tempted to win. Save on Toy Story.
