HAPPY 80TH BIRTHDAY GARRY CHITTICK 1100m

Track: SOFT     Out 6m  

The race pace is not too bad here for such a small field but it will in the main be a controlled sprint home. BABYLON BERLIN (1) was a close G1 second at her only run here. Triple winner fresh up. Easy trial winner last month so has come back super. Drops to 60kg here after a 2kg claim and should win on sheer class. WEWILLROCK (3) is a class riser on his last start win and drops 2.5kg in this. Big chance on dry or wet ground to pay a dividend. OLD TOWN ROAD (2) has a good record fresh up. Senior rider on suits too as she has won three times on him. Trial second last month. Include in all your multiples. BOLD BELLE (5) is a class riser here. Drops to 51kg after a claim importantly. Chance for your multiples. SANIBEL (4) is a multiple-class dropper. Dual winner here. Has won fresh up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Babylon Berlin is a win wager.
