RANVET HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 5.27)  

Expecting Bonita Queen to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. THEBLADE (12) lightly raced colt resuming. Created a big impression when smashing his rivals by a big space on debut last August. Sat off the speed on resumption when a disappointing fourth to the smart Private Harry over 1200m here last December. Fitted with a slick 1050m trial win and gets his chance on the limit. ENRICHED (5) classy colt resuming. Raced without luck in Group company last prep and returns with two trials under his belt. Produces fresh and maps well. WALLENDA (6) total forgive from the outside gate first-up when coming from near last on the turn for a solid sixth over the unsuitable 1000m at Warwick Farm. Since fitted with a recent 800m trial placing. Gets his chance with Jason Collett aboard. Respect. BONITA QUEEN (1) tough mare back to her pet trip on the quick back-up. Will hold a forward position and try and grip on late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Theblade to win.
