GOING: G(4)

SCOTT ELLIS MEMORIAL / RANBUILD WARWICK NEWMARKET BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True Entire Course.. (Pent: 5.21)  

Expecting a strong tempo with Machine Head, Big Boy George and Zouprince going forward ahead of Esjay and Koga Ninja. OUTSMARTED (2) is building up an impressive strike rate winning four of six overall and looks the galloper in this line-up with the most upside. Tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and is yet to miss a drum in two fresh attempts. Bold showing expected. BIG BOY GEORGE (4) is a three-time winner over this six-furlong journey and is much better than the past couple of efforts suggest. Worth another chance. MACHINE HEAD (11) has hit the top-four in eight of his past nine starts and is usually thereabouts. A must for the multiples. FAKE MAGIC (1) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,4,11,1.
