Race Preview

Hard to go past BUCCLEUCH (1) who won a key lead up here over 1420m when last seen. He relished a strong test there and came right away from back in the field to score by 2.25 lengths. He should relish the step up to a mile and looks to have these covered with even luck. ARCORA (3) ran second behind Buccleuch there, working home well from back in the field. He should strip fitter for that given he was first up and up to a mile will also suit this son of Justify. BAYOU MUSIC (2) was a smart winner out to 1500m at Bendigo when last seen and looks a promising sort. Brings some different form and can measure up. VALDA WARRIOR (10) ran well behind Bayou Music on debut and should improve off that. SKY DEEL (7) should appreciate 1600m now and is a rough chance.

My Pick

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run won by 2.25 len at this track 2yo Hcp June 21 over 1420m defeating Arcora with 56.5kg at $4.40. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.75 len at Echuca Mdn-Sw June 3 over 1412m on a soft track defeating Savvie Blanc with 57kg at $1.14. Dominant last time and looks the one to beat again.
