GOING: G(4)

VWF - YOUNG VETERANS RATINGS BAND 0 - 58 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 24)   Rail: +2m Entire. (Pent: 6.29)  

A keen contest with Yeah Copy and Hell Of A Prince leading from Step Along. Former NSW galloper PERRI LASS (7) is having her first run for the new stable but has tuned up for this with two recent trials and should find this easier than what she faced down south. Has placed two from four over this trip and should be hitting the line with gusto. CHANCE WITH WOLVES (1) has won two of his past three and winning rider Bellamy stays on top. Again gets the benefit of her 3kg claim and can make his presence felt. YEAH COPY (8) doesn't win out of turn but is usually in the mix and looks a must for the exotics players. BONJOUR RUPERT (9) makes some appeal out of the Allard camp. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 7,1,8,9.
