GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES RACING CLUB BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Strong tempo from the outset with Bat Pad, Give Giggles and Milton Road leading the charge. SUPER DAISY (6) has hit a purple patch of form this preparation stringing three wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence. No reason why she can't get the job done again. GIVE GIGGLES (1) is having her first run for the new stable but revved up for this with a recent trial win and any market support must be noted. GREAT BARRIER REEF (7) has a win and a second from three attempts at this sprint trip and is drawn to get a soft run from gate two. In the mix. ADALIE (9) rounds out the selections in a wide-open affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Super Daisy to continue the picket fence.
