GOING: S(7)

YONG CHEW MEMORIAL 2200m

Track: SOFT 6     True  

Solid tempo expected primarily from House Of Tudor and Void. HOUSE OF TUDOR (11) was a beaten favourite here in BM60 company 12 days ago after setting the pace. She is probably better with some cover, and will have to go back from a wide gate this time. This field lacks depth of form, and she has sound each-way claims. Follow your money. COSMETIC VIRTUE (5) was third in BM75 company in her penultimate start, and then sixth as favourite in a stronger version of this class last time out. She can secure a run that suits from another handy gate and is good enough to get the job done. Stick with her. VOID (2) was an overdue but deserving maiden winner at Timaru last start, scoring a gritty victory by a head. He can take the next step in this field. SAUVAGE (1) has yet to fire this season, but he was not too far away at Riccarton 6 days ago over a mile. This trip should suit him, and he is not out of this at a decent price. UNLEASH THE BEAST (8) battled on well enough here 12 days ago, and will relish the extra 600m on offer here. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sauvage at each-way value for us.
