TRELAWNEY STUD CHAMPIONSHIP STAKES 2100m Track: SOFT5 True
There might be more pace and pressure in this G3 3yo only event over 2100m than first anticipated as many in these will fancy their chances. SOLIDIFY (1) win chance here. G2 placegetter. Senior rider atop and he has won three races on the gelding. INVESTIGATE (2) is racing super. G3 runner up at last start. Wet ground suits him best. Drawn to be a threat. MOONLIGHT MAGIC (12) she is a Maiden still but has run at Blacktype in last four runs. Very competitive here. KEALOHA (11) trial winner before last start second. Has drawn the ace gate incredibly again. JUST ONE (5) is best clockwise. Handles it dry and wet. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Solidify is a win wager.
