GOING: H(8)

GREEN FENCING 1600m

Track: HEAVY 8     True  

Solid tempo likely with Malacca Bay, Roca Mile and Bella Luce prominent. BELLA LUCE (5) has been racing well in her last three runs. Has won on dry and wet footing too. Big chance in this field for certain. MALACCA BAY (2) has run well in two of his three starts since a Maiden win. Quinella and trifecta must in this field without a doubt. ROCA MILE (4) is a course winner and has won third up. Winning rider atop. Ticks a lot of key betting boxes here. IN HER PRESENCE (7) was an easy winner at her last start. Trial second here prior. Can handle 1.5kg more. Impossible to omit in this. COSMETIC VIRTUE (14) was just beaten fresh up. Has been placed in three of four course runs. Partial class riser in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bella Luce and Malacca Bay are win wagers.
