2019 BILL RITCHIE HANDICAP – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Good competitive Bill Ritchie Handicap with a few pushing for a berth in the Group 1 Epsom Handicap. Speed looks solid enough.
CASCADIAN (7) really caught the eye late first up when working home strongly to finish a close fifth behind Deprive. Open to sharp improvement off the back of that and like the fact he has been kept fresh (28 days). Sure to appreciate the step up in trip and has drawn to settle a lot closer. Needs to win to get into the Epsom, so suspect he'll be fairly close to his top.
KOLDING (5) was the big flashing light run first up when he had no luck at a vital stage. Another open to good improvement and looms as a major threat. AVANTAGE (3) was solid enough first up and the booking of JMac is a decent push. Talented mare and rates highly on best form. STAR OF THE SEAS (6) should relish the conditions, next best.
