GOING: S(5)

REDMONDS PET & LIVESTOCK SUPPLIES LOCKYER LIGHTNING BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 6     Rail: True.  

Kwik Az Hell and Flag Hall can match early motors and set a genuine early tempo. FLAG HALL (2) led beaten 1.5L at Doomben in a CL3 building on the lip defeat at Warwick. Has a handy 2kg claim and will get every chance riding the speed. On top. Heathcote-trained HELIKEDEMPRETTY (11) is suited in country grade. Things haven't worked in her favour at her last two starts but here Doomben efforts prior read strongly. SCUD (9) maps for a soft run and is going well enough to consider. KWIK AZ HELL (12) continues to knock on the door and warrants consideration at each-way odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Flag Hall.
