GOING: G

Scope Building Handicap 1200m

Track: Good   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

They should run this along with Hebel and Prophesier taking it up over Stella Bystarlight. STELLA BYSTARLIGHT (6) has found some form in 2 starts here since moving from Victoria and was runner-up on this track nearly 4 weeks ago in a stronger field. She is the one to beat at this level, especially with the aid of a 2kg claim. CHUCKAMICKY (3) made it 2 wins from her last 3 starts when scoring here by a nose last time out in a slightly tougher grade. She cops an extra 2kg but can still repeat the dose. TANGO STEPZ (2) had a tough trip last time out but still stuck on gamely to finish third. She steps up to 1200m, which is as far as she wants, but a repeat of her last run will see her among the top 3 again. BOLD TROPIC (1) is a tough locally trained gelding who failed to fire after having a torrid trip here nearly 7 weeks ago. He has a better draw this time and can bounce straight back into the money at this level. VITESSE BREEZE (4) ruined his chances by making a slow start last time out. He is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stella Bystarlight to win.
