GOING: G(4)

Ridgeview Prk T'bred Stud-Bm70 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 13m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.19).  

Catechesis should push forward to take up the lead from the inside draw. Catechesis looks the leader with Samertha Heights and Denpasar among those handy. CHAMPAGNE READY could position handy stepping up to the mile from 1200m. Good effort back slightly in trip last time behind a smart winner and her win first up at 1400m said that the mile would pose no concerns. She's a mare with good upside and should be able to work her way into better races than this. HELL OR HIGHWATER found the right race last time and won well. Had a margin up her sleeve there and that has to be respected. No surprise to see GINALI get back on track and Artesian is one that should improve for her first up run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Champagne Ready for the win off strong recent form.
