RACE THREE
NIFTY STUDLEIGH (9) has been thereabouts without really looking like threatening for a victory in recent starts, yet he might have found the right conditions here. From gate 10 over the mile here 2 starts back, he worked home nicely, and last start wasn’t suited at the 2138m. This is within reach.
BOPPIN THE BLUES (1) has been runner-up at his past 2 outings over this trip, the latest when 4m from the in-form ITS SUPER EASY. His run 2 back had merit when best of the chasing bunch behind the big winner BLACK HAWK JOE in a slick mile and with a soft trip here, can strike in the stretch.
SUNNY RICE (2) is still a maiden after 14 attempts and again is facing off against more experienced rivals. Forced to race tough when only 3m from the winner 2 starts back, she can feature in this.
TORQUE ONETWOTHREE (7) has the wide gate to negotiate, yet she will be further tightened from her last start victory when 3rd up from a spell. Taking them all the way in that, she can chime in here.
SELECTIONS: NIFTY STUDLEIGH (9), BOPPIN THE BLUES (1), SUNNY RICE (2), TORQUE ONETWOTHREE (7)
SUGGESTED BET: NIFTY STUDLEIGH (9) to win
