GOING: G(4)

PERONI BENCHMARK 64 HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Strong early tempo with Code In Time also pushing ahead. MONTE MAXIMUS (8) produced a strong effort in similar company last start and peaks now. From a drift back draw can run into it late on home patch. DEEP FURY (7) doesn't win out of turn but has been very honest in three runs back from a break. Despite a tricky draw finds a contest that gives him genuine claims. CODE IN TIME (2) is on a winning roll but does finds a stiffer test. Up in weight but stays under notice. SUGGESTED PLAY: Monte Maximus each way.
