|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Future History can work over from a wide draw to lead. The Group 3 Chairman's Handicap, is another race where any horse could win, and for that reason we put JUST FINE (5) on top. He is at his best when in front, and in this field he can take up his favoured role without using up too much energy. A recent trial showed us that he is on target to find some good form again. NELLIE LEYLAX (8) ran a much better race for second on a heavy track at Eagle Farm 2 weeks ago, and the key to another good run will be the track conditions here. If it is wet, he can go one better. ENCODER (7) ran on well late when finishing sixth in the G3 JRA Plate at Randwick 4 weeks ago. He can mix his form, but a good draw and Tommy Berry in the saddle make him a top 4 hope at odds. WALSH BAY (9) has been building up her fitness levels, and she will relish the extra 400m third up from a spell. Include in all combos. MIDDLE EARTH (2) Is a genuine black-type performer who was beaten 2 lengths into ninth the Hawkesbury Gold Cup. Key chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Fine at each-way value.
