GOING: G(4)

TAB RACE SAVER BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: +3m 900m-275m, Cutaway Applies.  

Sooo Crazy should spear straight to the front of the small field. SOOO CRAZY (1) is a leader who won his Maiden on the Canberra Acton synthetic and then repeated the dose in a lot stronger than this. Has to carry more weight, but he will speed along from the inside gate and should see out the extra metres. MERCHANT REIGN (6) led on the Acton first-up and won a 50 by 4.5L. That stacks right up, and he's further improved. He's proven second-up and is a threat. PARTY IT DOWN (7) resumes at home and is a lightly-raced improver. Won her Maiden easily here two back and was good at Canberra on debut. Maps to advantage and has the first-time blinkers applied. Keep safe. RUBI AIR (2) won well at Albury in a 66 but hasn't flattered twice since ojn the Canberra Action synthetic. Has to be seriously considered back on the turf. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Sooo Crazy.
