GOING: G(4)

No Fuss Event Hire BM64 Handicap 2080m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.21)  

Strong pace with Compressing, La Rosetta and Chase Your Dreams pushing forward, closely attended by Brave Eight and Vistetto. Talented three-year-old WEST INDIES (5) returned last start with an eye-catching third over 1875m at Kyneton, closing well from back in the field. Wasn't far away in the Group 3 Caulfield Classic last prep over 2000m. Looks hard to stop out to this distance. LA ROSETTA (12) led for home in the same race as West Indies at Kilmore but was swamped near home and finished fifth. Lightly raced filly who is still learning what it's about. Will be there for a long way. Stablemate CHASE YOUR DREAMS (11) was lining up for the hat trick but failed narrowly in a BM64 over the mile at Pakenham recently. Big step up in distance here but trust the Hayes Team is getting it right. NORDIC PRIDE (4) wasn't too far off them last start when second-up over 2000m at Wangaratta. Loves racing here and is twice a winner when third-up so expect improvement. Last start Yarra Valley maiden winner VISTETTO (9) is sparingly raced and can take this next step. SUGGESTED PLAY: West Indies finds the perfect race.
