CLOPF ARENA SURFACES BENCHMARK 58 Handicap 1100m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

In the small field Jungle Fever and Ashilla are expected to take up the running. IPHIMEDIA (2) progressed nicely last time out when she worked home well to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. JUNGLE FEVER (1) made progress last time out, finishing third here after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DIVINE GEM (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1000m at this track. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in and can find peak form this time. ASHILLA (5) doesn't win out of turn but turned in a better effort last start here when chasing soundly into fifth. Comes into calculations off that run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Iphimedia.
