RACE FOUR
BLISSFULDAY (4) is in top order and comes into this after a strong 3rd behind FRANCO HAMPTON in Saturday night company. With the benefit of a cosy trip in behind the speed, he was only a half-neck away from the winner. That followed a nice run in the heat of that final after completing a hat-trick of victories leading into the series. With the gate advantage over his main dangers, he can capitalise.
BLUE IVY (7) was making her 1st appearance since joining the Ryan Veivers barn when tackling the 3YO Classic claimed by PELOSI. Unable to secure early position, she retreated to settle at the rear and then did not work into the race. Trialling in sharp order since that outing, she looks tuned up for this class of contest and will throw down the challenge.
REDS GOOD TO GO (5) had been working towards a victory after some handy efforts following his resumption from a spell. Closing in nice style from gate 7 to grab the bronze behind ROCKSLIDE here 2 starts back, he capitalised from gate 1 last time to lead throughout in a new career PB. The gate stings.
SELECTIONS: BLISSFULDAY (4), BLUE IVY (7), REDS GOOD TO GO (5)
