Ben Liddell Constructions RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Chayse 'N' Leisa may well find the front is a race devoid of early speed. SAVVY BEE (11) doesn't win out of turn but has been right there at the past four outings and this is not an overly strong affair. Will be rock-hard fit for this and gets Rodd on board from a low draw. Rates the testing material. PRIDE OF SAVABELLA (7) boasts a win over this track and trip and gets the services of Wiggins in the irons. Among the leading chances. CHAYSE 'N' LEISA (4) put back-to-back wins together before being thereabouts at the past three outings. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a role in the outcome. ARTSPACE (1) gets a stack of weight relief with the 3kg claim and may make his presence felt. PRINCETON AWARD (10) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 11,7,4,1.
