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.
