GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES SPRING HOSTED POTS BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1500m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True.  

Beat Hollow to take charge ahead of Son Of Beebee at a strong tempo. The well-related WARRIOR HEAD (5) (half to G3 winner Red Eclipse) bounced back to the winners' stall at Gatton in dominant fashion last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Key chance here and looks very hard to toss again. The consistent SON OF BEEBEE (3) has hit the top-five in 13 of his past 14 starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Genuine top-three contender on best form. BEST COFFEE (8) is one from one around this circuit and gets the services of Tilley in the saddle. Has the talent to feature prominently. BEAT HOLLOW (12) has finished runner-up in two of his past three and may earn some minor money again. FUNKY ME (10) makes some appeal for the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Warrior Head.
