GOING: S(5)

Winning Edge Presentations Benchmark 60 Handicap 2100m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 4.52)  

Alisent, Zurich and Skelmorlie can set up a solid gallop. Very even distance contest. STRATOJACK (7) stepped up to 2000m latest and made a return to form with a fast finishing win. Drops in the weights with the claim and can make it back to back wins. AL MAXIMUS (2) has been in the minors the last couple over the mile. Course and distance winner and has the inside and the claim. Expected to run well. SKELMORLIE (6) loomed up but was outstayed by Zurich last time at the this journey. Meets the winner better at the weights and can turn the tables. ZURICH (1) was joined but fought on well to lift and score when trying to lead throughout latest. Has the claim and will give a sight again. DYNAMIC DEEL (5) is better than latest when galloped on and could be a sharp improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Staying with Stratojack.
