BRIAN BEATTIE HANDICAP
Results
Most of the chances come through the same race. STEEL RUN (6) hit the line well here last start over this trip when too far back but still has plenty of upside and just his fourth start. Wide draw again here but perhaps they roll the dice and push forward. LADY IN PINK (1) was strong at the rise to 2000m last time. Only goes up 1kg here and must be a strong chance for the double. BURLINGTON GATE (11) was good in the same lead up race here and can continue to improve. ZAMBEZI KHAN (4) was good in 4th last time and would relish a strong gallop. AZTEC STATE (2) is another of the each-way chances in a very tricky race.

The race before that won by 1.5 len at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Hcp May 25 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Some People Callme with 56.5kg at $4. This is well within her grasp.
Useful gelding. At the latest run 5th of 14 at this track 3yo Hcp on June 8 over 2000m, 2 len behind Lady In Pink with 60kg at $9. The run before that 5th of 15 at this track 3yo Hcp on May 18 over 2000m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Navy King with 60kg at $5.50. Encouraging effort last start. In the mix.
Second run back. First-up after four months eased back early on 8th of 12 at this track 3yo Hcp on June 8 over 1600m, 7 len behind Rise At Dawn with 57kg at $26. Previously second-up made ground from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Wagga Cl1-Sw on November 3 over 1600m, neck behind Semper Fortis carrying 55kg at $7. Fitter but must improve sharply.

The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 14 at Morphettville in the G3 Sa Classic on May 11 over 2500m, 1.75 len behind Positivity carrying 56kg at $8. Showed enough last start to suggest she can take this out.
Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run favourite; scored a big 3.5 len win at Wanganui 3yo SWP June 1 over 1600m in the wet defeating Bozo carrying 57kg at $2.20. The race before that favourite; won by 6 len at New Plymouth Raceway Mdn-Sw May 11 over 1400m in soft going defeating Charm Zafarm carrying 58.5kg at $2.30. Hard to knock.
At the latest run 6th of 14 at this track 3yo Hcp on June 8 over 2000m, 2 len behind Lady In Pink with 56.5kg at $4. The run before that came from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Caulfield 3yo Hcp on May 4 over 2000m, head behind Aztec State carrying 57kg at $5.50. Going well. Leading chance.

Useful type. At the latest run 5th of 12 at this track 3yo Hcp on June 8 over 1600m, 6 len behind Rise At Dawn with 56kg at $13. The run before that 4th of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Hcp on May 25 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Lady In Pink with 57kg at $9.50. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Caulfield 3yo F Bm78 June 1 over 1600m defeating Stylish with 56kg at $3.30. The start before that failed to make an impression; 5th of 10 at Caulfield 3yo Hcp on May 11 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Sure carrying 54kg at $16. Racing well and can win again.

The race before that 5th of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Hcp on May 25 over 1600m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Lady In Pink carrying 53kg at $6. Capable of a big finish so don?t write her off.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run came from midfield and won by 2 len at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw May 23 over 1800m defeating Ana Carolina with 58kg at $4. The race before that led but faded 3rd of 9 at Newcastle Mdn-Sw on May 4 over 1870m, slow going 2.75 len behind Seasons Of Mist carrying 56.5kg at $11. Can't recommend.

Before that favourite; won by 2.75 len at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw May 16 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Sinhalese with 58kg at $2.50. Not beaten far last start and worth including.

Resumes off a 42 day let-up. Most recently got back early 6th of 10 at Caulfield 3yo Hcp on May 11 over 1600m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Sure with 54kg at $26. The run before that 7th of 12 at Caulfield Vsires Guineas on April 27 over 1600m, 4 len behind Elphinstone carrying 58kg at $41. Looks tested again.
Last start 2nd of 14 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on June 6 over 1700m, head behind Keefy's Bro with 59.5kg at $2.80. The start before that 4th of 9 at Pakenham 3yo Mdn-Sw on May 16 over 1600m, slow going 4 len behind Boga Legend carrying 58kg at $1.80. Shouldn't trouble the top few.
Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, 3rd of 7 at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on May 16 over 1400m, slow going 1.2 len behind Only Old Once with 57.5kg at $3.30. Last start set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at Pakenham Mdn-Sw on May 30 over 1600m, slow going 0.8 len behind Shock carrying 57.5kg at $2.10. Others have better credentials.
