GOING: S(5)

LADBROKES ODDS SURGE BENCHMARK 70 Handicap 1110m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Fast pace assured with Certainlycan, Keep Safe and Ellibaby leading the charge. Former Victorian ARALETTA (13) is having her first run for the new stable but should find this assignment easier than what she has been facing down south. Tuned up for this with a recent trial placing and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Should prove very hard to toss. ELLIBABY (11) is another resuming but has won two from three when fresh and trust that Vandyke has her ready to go. Likely to push forward and will give backers a sight. KEEP SAFE (6) hails from the astute Heathcote barn and showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Has to be respected. GREYZOUS (12) gets in well at the weights with the claim and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. In the mix. CERTAINLYCAN (5) next best in a competitive contest to close out the card. SUGGESTED PLAY: Araletta to return a winner.
