SWEET CHESTNUT STAKES 1400m Track: SOFT Clouds (Max: 18) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Be Merry, Gold Poker Game and Lock And Key can set the pace. PRINCESS IZZY (3) was running on well when second over this course and distance last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She has won once and finished second three times from as many starts over this course and distance. She jumps from a good draw of three and may find herself in the winner's enclosure. KINDA WONDERFUL (5) stayed on well when second over 1800m last time. It must be noted that the winner of that race has come out and won again since. Her last victory came under Craig Zackey and she should be involved in the fight to the finish. RAINBOW LORIKEET (11) fought hard when winning her last start over 2000m. She returns from a spell and will be mowing down the frontrunners at the finish. I'M SO PRITTI (10) is back from a spell. Scored a determined win at her final run last campaign at this track over 1200m. Has found a suitable race and is worth including in exotic bets.
