GOING: G(4)

CHERYL GREEN SPRAY TANNING BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.8).  

Okay tempo with several capable of going forward. REAL KEY (1) brought good form to resumption beaten 2L in Open grade. He's improved and has a handy 2kg claim. Gets his chance. SABOR (3) resumes for a strong barn and goes fresh. 2x winning rider Butler is reunited and a bold effort is anticipated. KEFALONIA (7) deserved the 60 win before the spell and will be better for the first-up outing. Uses the rail and has a 2kg claim. In the finish at best. LET'S ROLL (12) was tracking well before the latest when he was out of the market. Has weight relief and is in the mix at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Real Key each way.
