GOING: S(5)

SILVERCHEF Class 2 Handicap 1015m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +9m 900m-400m; +6m Remainder. (Pent: 4.91)  

Strong tempo assured with Hidden Nugget, Miss Personality and Tiz Enuf rolling to the front. TIZ ENUF (2) was a beaten favourite in her final start of the spring at Eagle Farm and her spell would have done her the world of good. She has not missed a cheque in 3 starts fresh up in the past, including both of her career wins, and will be hard to hold out in this. HIDDEN NUGGET (5) franked a recent trial win with a comfortable victory on debut at Ipswich over 800m. He has the pace to lead this field and could take some pegging back again. MISS PERSONALITY (8) was too slick fresh up at Beaudesert 16 days ago and is drawn the pole position again. Hard to beat. ALPHA BRAVO (1) strips fitter second up and from a good draw, he is expected to improve quickly. Each way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hidden Nugget each way.
