BTC Constructions Melbourne Cup Day On Sale TROBIS Plate 1100m

Track: AW   Clouds (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Snappy Sweetheart, Juelene and No Brakes. ACHACHA (3) is a five-start maiden who is knocking on the door after a narrow defeat last start over 1100m at this track when leading them up. That rates well and she finds a suitable race. Fitter and gets her chance. SNAPPY SWEETHEART (7) recorded a strong maiden win over 1000m at this track last time. She has plenty of scope for improvement and briefly freshened is a decent chance to repeat. JUELENE (4) spiked her figures beat a whisker in the same contest. She'd be a hope if she holds that form. MLINZI (5) will be around the mark going on his placed effort two back behind Snappy Sweetheart. NO BRAKES (1) keeps the leading hoop and may be the best of the remainder. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Achacha.
