Finding a “banker” on a card full off even handicaps on soft ground is no easy task but Elite Elle ticks plenty of boxes in the seventh.
Elite Elle is unbeaten in three on soft ground and despite not having shown her absolute best this campaign so far her two runs have seen her heading in the right direction.
She was just denied by Siwa Lady last time in what looks a key form reference to this, and she is tipped to turn the tables with things in her favour today.
Slow ground will hardly worry the reliable Resistant and he looks well placed after the claim in the fourth.
His latest couple have been typically good honest efforts and he looks undervalued in early markets at around the $8.00 mark.
Think he deserves to be a bit shorter than that on his form and he represents a good each way gamble at the odds.
In the same race Under The Louvre looks overvalued.
He’s in great form, winning two of his three this time in, but he was beaten at two on slow going with the jock declaring he had struggled due to the track condition that day.
Happy to be looking around him at the top of the market at this stage.
