GOING: G

Grand Ridge Arenas BM64 Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.19)  

Expecting Iced Chocolate to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. BUTTERNUT PRINCESS (3) is a handy filly who resumes here. She won her maiden first up at Kyneton before two sound efforts in good company, second in a 3yo BM74 before a spell. Should take beating. ADELANTE (2) is worth watching. She comes over from New Zealand, last seen scoring a four-length maiden win at Arawa Park. She's won a jump-out and has to be respected. ICED CHOCOLATE (5) broke through for a strong maiden win at Moe when last seen and could measure up. VERSAILLE (8) could be an improver on firmer footing and is in an easier race than last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Butternut Princess on top.
