GOING: G(3)

Helston & Associates (Bm65) 2000m

Track: GOOD3   Showers   Rail: Out 9m from 2000-1200, remainder Out 11m.  

Bloodstream goes forward to contest the lead with Bahhare Babe. Full field should ensure that we get a true tempo. Limited pace in the race and some suspect stamina so sure to be a changing race face across the top when the real players stride into contention or apply more heat. The class dropper IMPERIUM can beat these on ability alone. Has won second up before. YOU ARE AMAZING is ready for middle distance. Top tier in this. The grade dropper ROSHEEN is a trifecta and first four hope. Four-time winner at the distance. Miss Mia the other must for your multiples. Bahhare Babe should handle middle distance no worries. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Imperium to improve past these.
