GOING: S

Sportsbet Get On BlackBook Handicap 1700m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Genuine pace headed by Chakado from his wide alley. The barrier is the only thing against AZTEC STATE (5) who resumed with a fantastic win at Sandown Hillside, off a year-long spell there but bursting through to go on and win by three lengths. Has clearly come back well and should only take fitness improvement from that. Where he gets to is the query but if they're making ground out wider by this time in the day he'll go awfully close. OUTTA COMPTON (12) has won his past two in good style, handling all conditions and proving all-round adaptable. Can land in a good spot here and measure up again. BRITISH COLUMBIA (15) resumed with a strong run before a slightly disappointing effort last time. Plummets in weight for this rise in grade and 1700m third up looks ideal. UNTIL VALHALLA (16) is coming off a solid midweek win and can measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Aztec State & British Columbia.
