Capable Angel to take up the running at a moderate tempo. SAAM TIME LUCKY (11) ended up in the second half of the field on settling down and rattled home, just missing in an Open 3YO event last start. He maps to be much closer this time around and the rating he ran there stacks right up in this field. Can go one better this time. BUTHELEZI (8) lands here off a very impressive maiden victory over this course and distance. The wide draw is a niggle, though he looks to have stacks of upside with Brad Parnham remaining in the saddle. Watch for him flying late in the race. HOLLER NUFF (10) won well two back before finishing a length off Saam Time Lucky last start over 1400m here. The wide draw is a niggle as he tends to get back, but he's got plenty of upside and CJP sticks. Not discounting him by any means. KELORA (3) has bumped into a couple smart ones in his last two starts and can go one better this time. CLIMB ON TOP (1) is ticking along nicely and has winning claims from a good barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Saam Time Lucky can get the job done.

Pike rides again now and he's a winning chance. |
