GOING: G(4)

BENTLEYS 2024 THE ARCHER 1300m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 2.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.41).  

A stack of early pressure, primarily from Namazu. STRAIT ACER (1) did a big job placing off a wide gate at Wyong and then just missed in the million-dollar Midway Championship Final in Open grade at Randwick. Arrives here after 15 days and draws wide with a leading Sydney rider booked. Hard to beat. ARENTEE (7) brings a comfortable with in a Doomben Open Quality. Spiked his figures in that and can get into the finish. UCALLEDIT (2) has been racing at G3 level in NSW and the figures stack up. Has the blinkers on for the first time and maps for a soft run. Keep onside. NAMAZU (3) has plenty of ability and can build on the easy Open win at Mackay 48 days ago first-up. Has been kept up to the mark with an easy trial win. Keeps Butler and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Strait Acer.
