GOING: G(4)

RANVET HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.93)  

Strong tempo assured with Tremonti, Zale and Whatalegacy rolling to the front. The well-related FIERCE (2) (half to G2 winner Airman) returned in fine fashion with a dominant Warwick Farm victory and will have come on with that run now under the belt. Winning rider Schiller sticks in the saddle and handles all going. Looks the one they all have to run down. WHATALEGACY (8) also hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Benedetta) and showed enough in his first campaign to suggest he'd be competitive in a race of this nature. Respect any market confidence. INOUE (3) is a two-time winner over this distance range and strips fitter third-up from the break. In the mix. ZALE (5) next best in a race with only a handful of chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fierce to win again.
