GOING: S(5)

BECOME A BRC MEMBER QTIS Three-Year-Old BENCHMARK 68 Handicap 1110m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 6.19)  

Plenty of pace from Stiktodascrypt, Wax On Wax Off and Exceloquent primarily. CHANTILLY (6) returned in fine fashion with a solid win at this circuit and will have derived a stack of confidence from that breakthrough victory. Maps nicely for this from gate four and can go back-to-back without surprising. VIVIKA (2) has a win and a second from two attempts over this distance range and must be respected out of the Dunn barn. Definite top-three prospects. CHAMPAGNE LANE (3) just missed the placings in Listed company before the spell and is sure to find this assignment more to her liking. Right in this contest. LITTLE FELLA (4) gets 2kg off from the inside marble and comes into calculations. EXCELOQUENT (5) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chantilly to win again.
