GOING: G

KERR STREET BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1450m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo with Reformist to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. The very well-related METAL BAR (1) (half to G1 winner Mighty Boss and G2 winner Coastwatch) has won five of seven over this course and distance, gets 2kg off with the claim and draws the inside marble. Ticks plenty of boxes. VICTORY BAY (2) is yet to miss the top-two in five career efforts over this track and trip and is another to get some weight relief. Shapes as a key contender. REFORMIST (4) has hit the top-four at his past five outings and is a must for the multiples. JETSKI (3) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Metal Bar to salute again.
