NEWLANDS GROUP BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1200m Track: Soft 5 Rain (Max: 15) Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.00) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a solid pace with Bauhinia Rock, Galway Hussler and Kinross Lane leading the charge.
KINROSS LANE (8) has made a bright start to her career and followed up a fresh up win by a nose here with a hard-fought second 3 weeks ago on this track. She rises in class for this, but drops 4kg in weight. She has the scope to win a race like this. CHINCHILLA AHEAD (6) is a stablemate of the top pick who is unbeaten in both of his starts on this track. He might need the run, but would have strengthened up since his last race in the city at Doomben in January. Watch closely. GALWAY HUSSLER (2) is a very handy locally trained mare who led all the way to win by well over 3 lengths here last week. She won't find this much harder, and with 1.5kg less to carry, she can repeat the dose. THAT'S AN EXTRA (5) got the job done as expected here 3 weeks ago when winning by half a length. She is still on the up with her fitness, and adds to the puzzle in a strong field. DATA LEAK (7) is knocking on the door for his next win, and with the blinkers on for the first time, he can get the job done. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kinross Lane to win at some value.
