GCTC RENEW MEMBERSHIPS NOW BENCHMARK 55 Handicap 1200m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Pace looks strong with Exoflow pushing forward from out wide along with Palatial Prince in closer. Tricky. KING KRYPTOS (6) resumed much improved, beaten a nose here on-pace. A top course striker remains in the saddle, and he won't have to improve much to be winning. PRIVATE TENDER (2) won a 58 well at Gatton three back but hasn't fired in stronger company since. The local is better suited and has a low barrier and handy 3kg claim. The tongue is applied for the first time. RYLOV (3) hasn't won for a long time but has pieces of form that would see him in the finish. He just missed in a 58 at Casino last time. SEEYA LATER GATER (9) needed the first up outing, but he's placed 2/3 second up and should be running into it. EXOFLOW (10) has a wide gate to manage but hits this contest at peak and will find it easier than Eagle Farm last time. He will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with King Kryptos.
