LANDER TOYOTA MIDWAY BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 21) Rail: True. (Pent: 5.06). |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
A solid tempo on the cards with Satness taking charge. MONDO (3) has notched peak performances at his past two starts giving nothing else a chance. Wide draw will test but with a well-used claim can hold his form into this. JUST A BROTHER (2) can’t catch a safe draw of late but his last two efforts have been very tough. Seasoned campaigner with a good record at this track. Ignore at your peril. SATNESS (7) brings handy form lines into the contest and backs up quickly off a brave effort at home last week. Proven at this trip and should be prominent from the outset. Winning claims. CEASEFIRE (5) performs best on dry tracks and has been back to near best at his past two outings. Fitness no issue and lots to like in this grade of race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just A Brother each way.
