LAKES PODIATRY CONDITIONAL BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 24) Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Lots of speed predominantly from Reigning King and Overextend. RESISTIBLE (2) resumes back in class but up in the weights. Proven fresh performer who just needs early luck to figure. GOLD CARD (4) is holding his form well in genuine races of late and looks well placed after the claim. With a kind draw can play a major role. REGGIE'S BOY (7) gets some weight relief and both runs from a break have been genuine enough. Each way all day. REIGNING KING (12) is yet to strike through this time in but is knocking on the door. Cheery-ripe now and warrants serious consideration. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Resistible.
