GOING: G

BERKLEY STUD CHAMPAGNE STAKES 1200m

Track: GOOD     True  

Expecting Lucy In The Sky to take up the running with Queen's Evidence and Azilee Star close at hand. LUCY IN THE SKY (5) is a multiple class dropper here after a decent effort at G1. Big win prior at debut. Trial winner last month and is deadset primed for this. Looks the winner here. ALOTTAGO (1) has run well in both of his starts. Will relish the rise to 1200m. Quinella and trifecta must. QUEEN'S EVIDENCE (6) is a top-tier chance here to place or be in the first four. Include her everywhere you can. SHESASCORCHER (8) ran well at last start. She should enjoy the rise to 1200m. Trifecta and first four must for bettors. DUJARDIN (10) was a decent fourth fresh up. Trial winner prior. Is one of several here that can place or be first four. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lucy In The Sky is a win wager.
