EVANS HENDERSON WOODBRIDGE BARRISTERS & SOLICITORS 1400m Track: AW True |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A solid tempo is anticipated with Tears Of Victory and Exaggeration kicking up to hold out the next wave. EXAGGERATION (5) has won 2 of his 3 career starts, all on this circuit, and probably should be unbeaten. He faces another rise in class, but with 2kg less to carry, he should have no problems measuring up to this level. Hard to beat again. DOUBTFUL SOUND (1) was in top form prior to a modest effort in a far stronger field here 3 weeks ago, when not having the best of runs. He had won a Foxton trial before that, and has a big chance to bounce straight back into the money, in this more suitable company. PLATINUM DESIGNS (3) has a very good record on this track and made it 2 wins this prep when scoring by a length here 3 weeks ago over 1000m. He has winning form over this trip, so with the right run, he can repeat the dose. BEE ENCHANTED (2) was not far away in the same strong field as the top pick last time out. He is better placed here, and with a big swing in his draw, he should not be underestimated. ARDEE BOY (4) set the pace and held on gamely for second here 3 weeks ago. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exaggeration can take the next step immediately here.
