#YOUCANBETONUS! FM 100 HANDICAP 1400m Track: STANDARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. ENCHANTING CHOICE (6) has won both runs this prep. She kept finding to win her last start over this distance and it must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is in a good space and has won third-up previously. If taking to the polytrack she can bring up the hat-trick. MONTELENA (3) finished third to the top selection last time in what was her second run this prep. She has won third-up previously and rates well as a leading chance. SWEETIE DARLING (2) has won her last three starts, the latest of which was over 1200m on this course when sent out as the favourite. She is likely to race on the speed and in her present form has to be respected. GIMME'S LASSIE (1) is racing well this prep and, the latest effort a solid third to the above selection at this track over 1200m. Looks well placed and is a must include in exotic bets.
