GOING: G(4)

TAB BENCHMARK 65 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.43)  

Venturous has sufficient dash to cross and take up the running. LAVONI (13) is a very honest mare who is yet to miss the top-five in nine career outings. Respect from the Bruce stable and shapes as the hardest to beat following a few key scratchings. ZHUANG SHI (1) strips fitter third-up, gets 3kg off with the claim and draws the inside alley. Ticks a few boxes. CHARLIE'S CASE (8) has been solid enough in recent efforts and finds a suitable contest with the added aid of the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Milward to win again.
1 x4x88 ZHUANG SHI
