Sale Race 4 - Benson Tree Services Mdn Plate
OPEN FIRE (12) is a filly by Smart Missile on debut for the Price & Kent Jnr yard representing strong connections. She's jumped out well for this and finds a winnable maiden first time of asking. Expect she measures up. BLUE LIGHT DISCO (2) debuted in a strong maiden and wasn't beaten far in fifth. He's been given time since then and should find this a touch easier with natural improvement. LOUIS BARTHAS (5) has had a few chances with 10 starts under his belt but is going well, beating BLUE LIGHT DISCO home at Pakenham last time out. He can break through off that run. ALLEVIATE (11) is a filly by Wootton Bassett on debut for the O'Brien yard. Respect any market support. FATTY FINN (7) is a gelding by Maschno on debut for the Littlefield yard who can run well.
