GOING: G(3)

Mine Wealth + Wellbeing Hcp-C1 1350m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 3m Entire Course.  

Belridge, Letsava Win, Charlie Royale, Invicta and Silent Dream should enable a genuine tempo to round out the day. A handy race to close off a solid card of racing and tempo should be keen with Belridge, Letsava Win and Silent Dream all pushing the pedal down early on. BEZEL confirmed the wraps with a dominant win first up at this track and can go on with it here. Up in trip for this and this looks the perfect next target for him off a kind draw. The one to beat. VAIN ELAINE is a lightly raced mare resuming. Has always shown something and her first campaign was impressive. Given two trials for her return and with the light weight remains a key player despite the tricky gate. BELRIDGE is a consistent galloper who comes into this off a freshen up. Proven at this track and trip and expect him to roll forward and take on all comers. Silent Dream has been placed in three of four attempts at this trip. Went better second up and looks the sight at a price horse here. form when winning first-up. Had conditions to suit on that occasion but don't knock winning form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bezel too good.
