5:15am - RANVET HANDICAP | 1200m | | i

Another competitive race over 1200m, early speed from BIG PARADE, EMBRACER and ISORICH from out wider should make sure it's a FAIR tempo. BIG PARADE was impressive first-up and showed good potential in his first prep when 2nd at Listed level. He will push forward and be hard to shake, but there are a few strong chances here. SUPERIUM, NICCO LAD and EMBRACER all come out of the same race with similar form ratings and will be hard to beat, SUPERIUM drawn to get a nice smother and just needs a bit of luck late. TONY'S REWARD has had no luck his last two starts and is in the mix too. The much-maligned DRACHENFELS gets the blinkers on now. [updated 10:55am]
