GOING: G(4)

Beraldo Coffee Handicap 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Genuine tempo with the speedy Undisputable leading the way. PERFECT PICTURE (3) resumes. She was a bit frustrating to follow last time in, beaten at short odds on a few occasions, but she was largely running very well, often just getting into tricky spots and charging late. She's got more ability than Class 1 level and the big track and good draw here suit nicely. YAMASHITA'S GOLD (4) presents third up having run two solid races this time in, beaten under a length here last time. 1100m here looks to suit now and he can break through. UNDISPUTABLE (5) resumes. He's a lightly raced gelding with plenty of early toe, expect he lands in front from the inside draw and gives a good sight. BAJARIA (7) resumes for her second campaign having shown good ability last time in. She can progress and measure up here. BARARI (8) finished near the tail fresh but was close up and has form lines last time in that read well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Picture to win.
