GOING: S(5)

JB CIVIL CONCRETING BILL ASPROS CUP BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True.  

Not many willing to take up the pace here and it could lead to a stop start contest. MAGNUS RED (4) stormed home late to finish third when resuming at Tamworth and has again come up with a tough draw. He normally improves with racing and even though he is likely to get back early on, he can have the last say this time, especially if the gaps come his way. ZIPPY ZOO (8) needed his first run back from a spell and will strip fitter second up. It is worth noting that senior hoop Mikayla Weir is replacing an apprentice and the pair merit healthy respect. LOHNRAKI (3) did not have the best of runs last time out at Kembla Grange on a heavy track and did not really try after his early check that day. He is much better than that and benefits from a 4-kilo claim this time. Include in all combinations in an even contest. ELECTRIC STORM (7) has had a freshen up since his last run and is capable of a first four finish in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lohnraki each way.
