Track: HEAVY 10     Out 5m to the 1000m, Remainder Out 8m  

There is decent pace and pressure found in this 1400m event from the jump. VICTORIAN CHARM (2) he has been very consistent for ages. Course proven. Has won on dry and wet conditions. Big chance here wide draw and all. RUBICON REIGNS (13) won his Maiden right here. Handles most types of footing importantly. Quinella and trifecta must here for bettors in all of your combinations. EXPLOSIVE LASS (8) was a good second fresh up. Well drawn once again. Trifecta and first four chance in this. WARLAC (11) was not too bad a run at all fresh up. She has won second up before. The mare is proven on dry and wet footing as well. INTERCEPT (9) has run well in four of her last six starts. She is a trifecta and first four chance in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Victorian Charm and Rubicon Reigns are win wagers.
