GOING: G(4)

SKY RACING BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1110m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +5.5m Entire.  

Board Member should lead at a strong tempo. ADRANOS (6) hails from a handy family (half to G2 winner Tiamo Grace) and should be up to the mark with three recent trials on the back of a lengthy spell. Is one from one over this track and trip and looks the runner in this field with the most upside. Respect any push in betting. CHAMIERRO (7) is another first-up but the form he showed when last in work was good enough to be competitive in a race of this nature. Include in calculations. LADY LUCIFER (11) has a win and a second from two fresh attempts and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside marble. Top-three conveyance. BOARD MEMBER (1) has placed two from two over this distance range and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,7,11,1.
