GOING:

BLUE GRASS FODDER AND FEED D STAKES 1600m

Track: STANDARD   Rain (Max: 23)    

Plenty of pressure expected over the mile. JOSHUA HOTSNAKE (6) resumed from a spell and set the pace over this course and distance last time, tried hard but found one too good on the day. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He may be hard to peg back. EL REY VIENE (10) is better than his last start run over this distance at Scottsville would suggest. He has finished third in both his efforts on this course. Sean Veale is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the wide draw and he rates well as a leading chance. CONNOISSEUR (8) stayed on well when fourth over 1400m on this course last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. With a bit of luck in the running, he can place. ZIYAN'S PRIDE (1) won his maiden race over 1400m at this track last time. Has the inside gate and a bold showing is expected.
