Tennessee Bound and Here To Shock will likely pair off in front. The Chautauqua Stakes, carried over from Saturday's abandoned meeting. The betting prior to postponement was very keen on PERSIAN SPIRIT (6) who ran a great race fresh. He was able to settle handy which has been a problem and stays down in the weights here to 1300m which suits nicely. Can win this en route to a Rupert Clarke tilt. WARNIE (3) got a long way back and ran on well fresh in the same race. An extra 100m suits, look for him steaming late. TENNESSEE BOUND (11) tasted defeat for the first time when perhaps not ridden to her strengths. She can roll along and give a sight although this is tougher again. Wary of AMENABLE (5) now with Grahame Begg. His best is good enough. SUGGESTED PLAY: Persian Spirit to win.
