GOING: S(5)

CJB CONSTRUCTIONS BM60 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: +5.5m Entire. (Pent: 5.52)  

Strong pace from Presszora, Legolas and Baile Fervor. The well-related PRESSZORA (6) (half to G2 winner Amor Victorious) was a touch disappointing last time out but the four runs prior to start the career were full of merit. Winning hoop Butler reunites and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. SANTORINI SUMMER (7) returned to the winners' stall here at the latest outing and will have taken some confidence from that overdue victory. In the mix again. REPLACE THE ACE (4) strips fitter second-up from the break and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Top-three credentials. WARNA (2) also hails from a handy family (half to G2 winner Count De Rupee) and will find this easier than recent Sunny Coast efforts. One for the multiples. BAILE FERVOR (1) has won his past two in lesser company and shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Presszora.
