GOING: G(4)

ANZAC Day Stakes 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Strong early tempo with Yaldi and Feroce leading the way over Epimeles. RUE DE ROYALE (1) brings the A-1 form to this and if he's got more to offer he'll take beating. He struggled in the Golden Slipper last start but the run here prior in the G2 VRC Sires behind Traffic Warden was excellent. Back out to 1400m is ideal and Lane on from the good draw helps. YES LULU (4) is a maiden but has placed in all three runs to date behind some handy types. Now to 1400m but that looks to suit. Can break through. FEROCE (2) has won both starts to date, beating a subsequent winner last start at Caulfield. He'll roll forward again and take catching. BISDEE (7) has been good in two runs to date and should relish this trip now. EPIMELES (3) looks the pick of the last-start maiden winners and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rue De Royale to win.
