GOING: S(5)

VETS ON RIVERBANK HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5     True position  

The race pace looks okay in this opening event from the outset for sure. THE SCUNNER (4) won very well fresh up indeed. Class riser in this. He can cope and win again. Well drawn once more. DIOMEDES (2) is an improver on his fresh-up effort. His second-up record is superb. Chance here wide draw and all. BOW HILL (7) is a class riser in this after her fresh-up win. Has won second-up before. Chance here for sure to be in the finish. BELLEZOR (6) won well in this grade at her last start. Same class in this field. Can handle the 3kg rise here. Definite win chance again. SCOUSER (10) he has come back super this time in. Cannot be overlooked in this field from any of your multiples. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Scunner and Bellezor are win wagers.
