Canterbury   30 Apr 2025
 
GOING: H(9)

RANVET HANDICAP 1550m

Track: Heavy 9   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 5.95)  

Good tempo expected with Rise To It, No Drama and Danaustar rolling forward. NO DRAMA (6) has not had much go his way this prep, and he did win his only start on this track. He is likely to race on the pace from his good draw and wouldn't mind some cut in the ground. He is ready to win again at short notice. OUR EMPRESS ZOE (7) is normally a very honest mare when fit, and it did not take long for her to break through for her first Sydney win when scoring here 9 days ago. She rises in class but drops a kilo and is good enough to repeat the dose. BODY BOB (1) got back when resuming under a big weight at Canberra 12 days ago and just battled home for fifth. He is usually a free-going type and will probably force the pace in this. He strips fitter and is worth each-way consideration. DANAUSTAR (2) had no luck off a wide gate at Rosehill last start and will be peaking third up. He is down in weight, and from a superior gate, he is nicely placed to put his best hoof forward. STAR IMPACT (8) has needed her 2 starts back from a spell. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: No Drama each-way.
