GOING: N

Thai Imperial BM60 Handicap 1350m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Bankrollbenny taking up the running ahead of Noble Exception. BANKROLLBENNY (2) has won two of his last three with the latest here in this grade. Keeps Newitt and maps for the run of the race. He can go on with it. TRICKY MIKKI (9) rates similarly on the CL1 win on the turf. Uses the low gate and has won and placed three times here. The 3kg claim brings here right into it again. BORN A WINNER (8) spiked his figures here when narrowly beaten behind BANKROLL BENNY. The barrier is awkward but he can't be ruled out on that effort. Stablemate ALPINE BLAST (4) tries hard and comes back in grade with a 3kg claimer up. Has the rail and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Bankrollbenny.
