BETS AVAILABLE ON THIS RACE

CITY SELECTIONS REECELTIC is somewhat unlucky not to be arriving here on a hat-trick, having been narrowly denied at Lingfield on his most recent outing. Pat Phelan’s charge remains feasibly handicapped and he can gain compensation here at the main expense of the consistent Reset Button, who is winless since this time last year but has run well in defeat the last twice. Bass Strait is entitled to improve on his first run for new connections in November.

PLAY SMARTER REECELTIC and Reset Button were both caught back further than ideal in steadily-run races last time and look the pair to focus on, with marginal preference for Pat Phelan’s inmate.
