GOING: S(5)

TEDDY BEARS PICNIC 2 AUGUST Maiden Plate 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +12m Entire course. (Pent: 5.90)  

Strong pace from Siglo De Oro and Ihaveseenthelight matching motors with Righteous Legend close at hand. Former NSW galloper RIGHTEOUS LEGEND (5) is having his first run for the new barn but should find this assignment easier than what he was facing down south. Has placed over this seven-furlong journey and looks well placed to break through. READY FOR THE TRIP (3) is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley and gets the services of Maloney in the irons. Looms as the main danger. VALENCIA ROC (11) has placed in all three runs this campaign and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky alley to play a major role in the outcome. SIGLO DE ORO (4) was well in the betting at the most recent effort and where there's smoke there's fire. Keep safe. CAVARETTA (10) next in line from the Waller yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Righteous Legend to break the maiden status.
