GOING: N

SUMMIT GLAZING SOLUTIONS BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1200m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Expecting Beat Hollow to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. SMART RECOGNITION (2) won three back and has threatened the two since. Went close here this grade on the course proper last time, and racing forward will go close. MA'S EPIC (6) has been racing in stronger in town. Won this grade comfortably at Warwick prior, and the 3kg claim is handy. Needs a good ride pushing forward from the wide gate. LIMAHULI (5) has also been racing well enough in town and jumps from an inside gate. He's also a chance. ZOUTHUR (11) draws awkwardly but won the 55 here by a space and will run along and give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Smart Recognition.
