Stake: $13,648

SON OF RAJ (1) ran a fair race when seventh when resuming from a spell last time. He would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. He is the class horse in this line-up and with Gavin Lerena back in the saddle, he can go close. FIRE 'N FLAMES (2) is better than his last start run looks on paper. His penultimate run when second over 1400m on this course was encouraging. He should be fighting out the finish. GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE (3) finished fourth of seven over 1400m at this track last start and over 200m more in distance today should be as his name suggests be considered. Include in exotic bets. RADICCHIO (4) was well supported last start but only finished fifth at this track over 1400m. Jumping from an inside draw looks well placed to atone.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up 8th of 13 at Scottsville on April 27 over 1100m, 9 len behind O'Tenikwa carrying 58.5kg at $34. Second run from a spell second last of 7 at this track on June 8 over 1400m, 5 len behind Texas Red carrying 54kg at $7. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.
