GOING: S(7)

ASAHI SUPER DRY HANDICAP 1900m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Think I Will. ELLE HUDSON (4) caught the eye first-up and the followed it up with a strong chasing effort last time. Steps out to a winning trip and should be hitting his straps. VELARIS (10) flashed home fresh, then put a flat second-up run behind him last start when driving hard to get the verdict here three weeks ago. Can keep the ball rolling with Rawiller sticking from the gun draw. Fellow last start winner LE TROISIR (7) came from a long way back last time to get the verdict over 2200m at Warwick Farm. Query dropping back to this trip but deserves respect. FORMAT (6) couldn't get the job done as favourite last time over this track and trip but backs up quickly and is worth another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elle Hudson to win.
