GOING: N

BELJON PASTORAL CO PACE 1780m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 26)    

CEE WHOS BETTOR (2) drew wide on the back row and raced three deep without cover last start at Hamilton so that result can be forgiven. Came from wider than this for second here two back. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Strong claims. ITTAKESLUV (7) made it two wins from her last five outings when getting home by a head last week at Hamilton. Draws for a trail and strikes to 50 per cent here. She is capable of getting the job done again. ALWAYS BE TECHY (1) drew on the back row and worked in her last-start fourth at Hamilton eight days ago. Her lone win came at this distance and she gets the ace draw. PRESIDENTIALCHANGE (6) is suited returning to circuit and distance where he owns a good record.
