GOING: G(3)

PICKLEBET'S GET YOUR PICKLE ON RATINGS BAND 0 - 55 Handicap 1350m

Track: Good 4     Rail: True. (Pent: 4.78)  

A solid tempo is assured with Babalola coming across, joined by Maeve and Ucelle pushing on from better draws. Former Victorian BABALOLA (1) has been just behind the placegetters on both runs since joining the new stable and should find this assignment easier than what he faced down south. Has placed two from three over this distance range and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. WHATJEUDOIN' (3) has been thereabouts at the past couple and handles all surfaces. Expected to be in the finish. NEOCLASSICISM (4) doesn't win out of turn but is usually up in the firing line and gets some weight off with the 2kg claim. Top-three aspirations. PRETTY RHO (8) strips fitter second-up from the spell and may make her presence felt. VANCITY (11) next in line from the inside marble. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Babalola.
