SNAPPER ENTERPRISES PTY LTD HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD4     Rail: +2m entire.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Razmas leading the way. RAZMAS (5) led them up last start but couldn't fend off the winner when 5.8L away at Belmont. Back to country level now and he looks ready to go to the next level third-up. Has the speed to offset the tricky barrier and a return to his best figures will see him hard to hold out. LACIE ACE (11) missed in a photo finish in a very similar race 13 days ago. The rise in trip may be a niggle, but she boasts a strong second-up record and will carry no weight after the claim of Tsang. Fitter for the fresh run and can go one better without surprising. VAIN UNIVERSE (7) flew home last start to get the job done over 1300m here last time out and the rise to 1400m looks ideal. She can sit close from the inside barrier this time around and the form may have been franked in the opening race of the day. Can play a leading role. RULING DAME (12) is racing in good order and has to be included following a strong effort last start. HEAVENBENT (8) comes through a good form race fresh and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Razmas can return to winning ways.
