VIEW HOTEL BRISBANE BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1625m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +5m Entire . (Pent: 6.10)  

Earl Of Devon to take charge ahead of Fort William at a good tempo. Competitive contest. The penny has dropped for MADALSA (3) who has strung back-to-back wins together over this track and trip and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Winning rider Tilley stays on top and can bring up the hat-trick without surprising. BLUMSTIEN (6) got the job done here on his home circuit at the latest effort and can go right on with the job now. In the mix. EARL OF DEVON (8) showed good improvement second up when winning at Dalby over 1400m. Won at this course/distance last campaign. FORT WILLIAM (5) drops back in grade after being outclassed at Doomben. The start prior won at Ipswich in good fashion. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,6,8,5.
