GOING: G

Billy J Boutique (Bm75) 1660m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 11m Entire Course. (Pent: 4.85).  

Looks to be a bit of speed in this with Dansez, Brenda and Dutch Treat all prominent. At a solid clip the likes of Dansez, Dutch Treat, Idle Situation and Brenda will be prominent. Very hard to go past DANSEZ who was back in the winner's circle last start with an easy victory over this trip at Ipswich, leading from barrier rise. Consistent mare who gets all the favours from gate two. Another mare who is flying is BRENDA who made it 3/3 this prep when a narrow winner over 1350m at Ipswich recently. Was beaten less than a length by Epic Rant last prep at her only try at the mile - that sort of form stands up well here. LIBERTY ISLAND did a bit wrong last time out when 4th over this course and distance 21 days ago. Capable of better this time around. FUTURE EVENT is in the mix but may be suspect at the mile. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dansez to win again.
