GOING: S(5)

Bennett Electrical BM64 Handicap 1740m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.66).  

Delightful Journey has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. FREIGHT TRAIN (2) clearly on top. He sprinted powerfully to score fresh at Sandown Lakeside before just missing last time here over 1615m behind Electric Impulse, beaten a neck. Up in trip now is ideal and he drops in grade. OPENING ADDRESS (10) is a lightly raced type coming off a dominant 5 length win in a Wodonga maiden. Big step up here but have to respect. MORNINGTON PIER (6) has just found one better at both starts this campaign and is in the mix. GERALDINE'S JEWEL (8) can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Freight Train to win.
