GOING: N

SEA WORLD CRUISES BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1150m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Speed should be right on over the 1150m journey. NOBLE STYLE (6) was a good winner here two starts ago before chasing hard for second to Five Star Vixen last start. Has won three of her nine starts at this track and never missed a place here. Will put herself up on the pace from a good draw and should prove very hard to beat. BOLD JULIUS (7) has a win and a second since joining the Jack Bruce stable. Has tactical speed to put himself in the right position and is capable of being in the finish here. SONNY DAZE (3) was a strong all-the-way winner over this course and distance last start and has only missed a place once in four attempts at this track. Has to overcome wide draw but is among the main chances. MY DOG DIESEL (1) didn't have much luck in the straight last week when 4th over 1050m here in Bm70 grade. Has to carry 61kg here but expect him to be thereabouts again. GHOST HUNTER (4) was doing best work late when 7th in same race as My Dog Diesel last week and is another with top-four claims in a competitive race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Happy to go with Noble Style to win.
