GOING: S(5)

ELSDON PARK WELLINGTON STAKES 1600m

Track: SOFT 5     True position  

The race pace looks okay here in this 3yo G3 event over a Mile. HE'S LUCID (1) is a multiple class dropper here after running quite well at last start in a 3yo at G1 over a Mile. An inside barrier is a big advantage in this line up. Win chance in this field for certain. VANISH (10) won here easily fresh up this time in. Class riser and is a trial winner since. Definite chance here. ISLAND LIFE (8) is a multiple-class riser here. Well drawn. Filly with good scope and cannot be omitted here. OCEAN MISS (9) is a multiple-class riser in this. First race left-handed. Not out of this. TUXEDO (2) he can measure up in this. Wide draw. Trialled well twice before his debut and the tote price will be very intriguing. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's Lucid is a win wager.
