GOING: N

BEDWELLS FEEDBARN PACE 1730m

Track: FAST   Clouds (Max: 19)    

BUSHY BEACH (3) has been hard to fault of late and made it two wins in a row when successful at his latest appearance at Menangle, getting home by 6.6 metres. Has led in both of those wins so can take advantage of the lower draw to land the hat trick. IDEAL TIMING (1) resumes from a spell of seven months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last outing being a solid second at Menangle. Should enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and will be ready to go off three solid trials. SAINT EMILION (8) draws wide but has been going well from second row barriers of late, beaten less than 2m here last time. BETTOR KEPPEL (5) came from this barrier and was beaten only 3.3m here last week. Go well.
