GOING: S

Sportsbet Race Previews Handicap 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo with Bold Bastille likely to hold the lead from the rails draw, joined by Foxenberg. SHADHAVAR (7) resumes and boasts some attractive formlines from last time in. She won a couple in a row before tackling some good races, the highlight being a 0.7 length defeat to the talented Arabian Summer here in the G3 Kevin Hayes. Gets in nicely at the weights, draws well and can make a winning return. RUNLIKENENCRYPTION (11) continues to race well, just missing here over 1000m last time out, beaten a long neck. Only needs to hold that form to be a strong chance again. FOXENBERG (12) was just fair in a bunched finish here last time but has ability, the debut win and subsequent price at Sandown Hillside a testament to that. Can improve. SALSA FELLOW (1) struggled behind the very talented She's An Artist last time but had been flying prior and this looks more suitable. SCAMPI (4) is a bit hit-or-miss but certainly has the ability. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shadhavar to win.
