INNOVATIVE PLANNING SOLUTIONS QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1000m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +8m Entire.  

Solid tempo set by Jeans and Tinkerbella. LA BELLA BOOM (1) didn't measure up in the rich Magic Millions race before the spell but the three runs prior to start the career were good enough to warrant serious consideration in a race like this. Gets the reliable Gollan/Jones combination and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. YOURE NOT THE KING (6) was well supported over this track and trip on debut and didn't let backers down with a dominant four-length victory. Can go back-to-back without surprising. JEANS (5) finally shed the maiden tag at the latest effort and will have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Could easily go right on with the job now. SPIES ON (10) finished runner-up over this course and distance on debut before going one better at the latest effort. Don't dismiss lightly. STIKTODASCRYPT (2) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Bella Boom to return a winner.
