BLAKES MARINE BENCHMARK 78 HANDICAP 1800m Track: Heavy 8 Clouds (Max: 21) Rail: True. (Pent: 6.34) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Solid tempo with Jamberoo leading from Black Run and Who Ordered Dafish. BLACK RUN (5) lightly raced imported gelding with a stack of upside. Sound Australian debut when running on late from a lengthy break to finish fourth over 1600m at Warwick Farm. Drops further in weight and has the pace to get across from the draw. Undefeated in two second-up runs. JAMBEROO (2) resumed with a gritty on pace second carrying the 58kg over 1600m at Warwick Farm. Wadick sticks with the 2kg claim and proven at this trip and in these conditions. FAY'S ANGELS (7) has a good record at this trip and strips fitter with just 53kg to carry. Can surprise at the big odds. The chances don't end there. BEHTAR (1) ran a much improved race second up and has a hope if following that trajectory into this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Black Run to go close in a tight contest.
