Rosehill   14 Jun 2025
 
GOING: S(5)

CHANDON HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 5.44)  

Solid tempo likely with Crocodile, Namaste and Crusader Voyage prominent. CROCODILE (2) took control early from the wide gate at his second race start when a comprehensive winner over 1400m at Hawkesbury in the heavy (10) going. Clearly has further improvement to come and gets his chance despite drawing out. NAMASTE (3) back in class second up when failing to finish off after given every chance in the run. Extra trip helps and regular rider back aboard. The firmer surface can see him go close. CRUSADER VOYAGE (5) will take great benefit out of his tough debut third over 1250m at Canterbury. Maps well and will keep improving as he steps out in trip. REGULATED AFFAIR (1) another from the Waller stable looking for this distance. Kept up to the mark with a recent trial and will be strong late. GEMOLOGIST (7) will relish the 1400m and looks good value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crocodile to go close again.
