GOING: H(10)

SCENIC HOTEL GROUP RATING 75 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10     True  

Strong tempo with Bella Luce, Mr Bully Tee and Iffin Doubt Dance going forward ahead of Where's Wally and Letsbringthebling. BELLA LUCE (4) hit the line strongly for second by less than a length here on the first day over 1800m. She has a good record over a mile on this track, and she should settle a touch closer this time from the pole position. Stick with her on top. DELMONICO (3) has bounced back into form with a pair of recent wins on the poly track here. He has also won 3 times on a turf surface, and now that he has his confidence up, he can complete the hat-trick. IFFIN DOUBT DANCE (10) no go from a tricky draw here last week, and will have the blinkers on from a superior gate this time. She is well worth another chance here. Each way. CHARBANO (2) finished third behind the second pick here just over 2 weeks ago. He has a good record on the turf course and is expected to figure in the finish again. WHERE'S WALLY (1) just battled here on the first day over 1400m and is worth including in all combinations over a mile this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bella Luce is good enough to take this out.
