They should run this along with Whatta Whitt and Chalkley taking it up over Sensationabull. AYE VEE AITCH (3) accounted for a maiden field over 1200m at Townsville last start, finishing 1.4 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Ryan Wiggins was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Progressing well so worth following up. RAVENITE (5) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1100m at this track. Placed to advantage here and can feature in the finish. The well-related WHATTA WHITT (7) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Lovemelikearock) has registered two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Turned in another good effort last start when second over 1200m at Clermont. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. BOOM BOOM RAY (1) finished third at the latest effort over 1200m at Longreach, beaten 4 lengths. Ready to peak now fourth run back and another big run will not surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Aye Vee Aitch to win again.
