Verdict

The Chautauqua Stakes, carried over from Saturday's abandoned meeting. The betting prior to postponement was very keen on PERSIAN SPIRIT (6) who ran a great race fresh. He was able to settle handy which has been a problem and stays down in the weights here to 6 ½f which suits nicely. Can win this en route to a Rupert Clarke tilt. WARNIE (3) got a long way back and ran on well fresh in the same race. An extra ½f suits, look for him steaming late. TENNESSEE BOUND (11) tasted defeat for the first time when perhaps not ridden to her strengths. She can roll along and give a sight although this is tougher again. Wary of AMENABLE (5) now with Grahame Begg. His best is good enough.
