GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Bet Ticker Benchmark 68 Handicap 2100m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +6m 1200m to WP- remainder +3m. (Pent: 4.62)  

Not clear-cut who leads. Competitive. JOHNNIE PINCH (3) brings strong form from the synthetic and this fellow ran his best race on the turf over a middle distance in Stakes grade. Has been kept on the fresh side and maps for the run of the race. METAVERSE (2) won this track/trip in a 76 and then didn't see out the staying trip last time at the same level. Has a handy 2kg claim today and this suits him better. He's a decent chance to bounce. TAHITIAN WARRIOR (5) won that staying contest and did it comfortably. Brought good form to that and he has claims. NOBLE EXCEPTION (7) brings a near miss this trip in a 76 quickly back to form. Will carry 53kg with the claim and also deserves consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Johnnie Pinch.
