GOING: G

BUCIK TYREPOWER PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

VISTA SIERRA (9) broke and raced wide when resuming from a similar draw to this last start but still managed to finish third at this circuit and distance. Open to improvement so can win if she gets it right. MAJESTIC CHEDDAR (4) should be at his peak at the fourth start back from a spell. Kicked off the campaign with back-to-back placings before working when fourth last time. Contender. DARK AND HANDSOME (7) is a two-year-old gelding from the Finnis yard on debut. Can settle just behind them and wait on the sprint lane. Go well. SEASIDE FRANKIE (5) broke last time but could be competitive with manners.
