GOING: G(4)

Donnas Electrical Benchmark 60 Handicap 2000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +2m 800m-600m.  

Crown And Anchor is likely to take charge and set a decent tempo. VEE ROD (7) wasn't disgraced in city class 62 at Oakbank. Missed a nose at Mt Gambier prior, and will find this more suitable. He can feature with average luck in the run. SCENIC HOST (5) improved missing 1L here over a mile. Placed his only run here over 2000m and is ready for the step-up. CROWN AND ANCHOR (2) has won at Clare over 1800m in two of his last three starts. Has to push forward from a wide gate, but he'd be in the mix if that works out. ALBLAZER (4) was outgraded at Warrnambool but missed a nose over 1815m at Mt Gambier prior. Has a tricky gate, but Crowther goes on and he can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Vee Rod.
