ORTUS FINANCIAL 2YO HANDICAP 1200m Track: Soft 7 Rain (Max: 18) Rail: True. |

---|---|---|---|---|
Tiberius and Green Spaces to take up the running at a genuine tempo. CHICAMA (7) returned from a five-month spell with a decent third over 1100m at Hawkesbury after missing the kick. Won a subsequent trial so expect his manners have been sorted out. Sure to give a sight. TIBERIUS (5) overcame adversity to record a narrow win on debut at Wyong recently. Tougher assignment this time but should be competitive. BEECHWORTH (10) made good progress to fill a minor placing at Canterbury last time. Top three chance at a juicy price. GREEN SPACES (4) last start winner who must be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chicama to win.
