GOING: S(7)

GILBERT BUTTERICK MEMORIAL 1400m

Track: SOFT 6     Out 5.5m from the 1400m to 400m, Then cutaway from 400 to finish at 3m  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Mood Changer. VICTORIAN CHARM (2) has been placed in all three runs here at home. Drawn well and can win this with certainty. DELMONICO (3) is a proven fresh-up runner. Trial second last month. Dual winner here. Must include everywhere you can in this particular field. MISS EMERALD (5) is an improver on her last run for a new stable. Has won on dry and wet ground. Not out of this at all. MOOD CHANGER (8) runs for a new stable now. Drawn okay. Is not out of this and keep an eye on the tote too with her as well. UGO (1) has gone some good races in his last six starts. Wide draw again. Has not had a decent gate in ages. SUGGESTED PLAY: Victorian Charm and Delmonico are win wagers.
