GOING: S

Ranvet Travis Harrison Cup 2040m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Nellie Leylax taking charge. SAYEDATY SADATY (5) is the one to beat having notched up victories at his past two outings. The highly regarded import ($14 in a Caulfield Cup) has won well over this trip his past two and while up in weight looks awfully hard to topple once more. Will roll forward and take beating. NELLIE LEYLAX (9) was okay last time when sitting on speed behind Sayedaty Sadaty. He gets in light here and will take running down if left alone. SMOKIN' ROMANS (2) is the class of the field off a 12 week break. May need this and a bit more ground but can figure. TEST THE LAW (8) is racing well in Adelaide and some hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Sayedaty Sadaty.
