GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Redelva Stakes 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: +9m 1200m-W/Post; +6m Remainder. Sectional 612m. (Pent: 5.42)  

Slick tempo with Ad Astra to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. GALLANT SON (2) went to a new level last start when finishing quickly behind a highly touted Kiwi at Listed level. Backed up by the clock and has more to offer third-up. Hard to beat if he can reproduce. RESERVE BANK (1) is the obvious danger and comes through the superior races. Never looked likely last start in the G1 William Reid but did catch the eye down the straight fresh. Still figuring it out but is clearly talented. KUROYANAGI (8) returns and is a tricky one to assess. Was G1-placed two preps ago in the Blue Diamond. Showed glimpses of going on with it last campaign but wasn't convincing enough. In this up to her ears if she's trained on. JUST LIKE GABY (10) was off her game last start but can add some juice to the exotics if back to her best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gallant Son to win.
