GOING: G

Avenel Equine Hospital VOBIS Gold Heath 2000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Tycoon Bec is likely to take up the running and set a decent tempo. Group 2 winner BERKELEY SQUARE (4) chased home Young Werther at Flemington before having an interrupted run in the straight here last time. Looks nicely placed against this lot and should be hard to beat. KHOEKHOE (3) found winning form again when successful in the Terang Cup. Usually holds form once he strikes it. Expected to run well. Group 3 winner LET'SBEFRANKBABY (7) has performed well in her two runs back from a break. Drops in weight this time and is expected to feature prominently. MAGNASPIN (2) led throughout in a good display at Moonee Valley last time. Extra trip won't be a problem. Look for a forward showing. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Berkeley Square.
