GOING: H(10)

Carlton Mid Hcp (C2) 1000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 3m 1700m to 300m cutaway. True Remainder.  

Kenny Succeed can use the inside draw and Alakai looks to come across and press the lead. Malverna can settle up in the first three. ALAKAI looks to land in a great spot on that map outside the leader and from there he is going to be hard to beat. There looks only three winning chances. ALAKAI has put three good runs together since moving to NSW. She keeps showing she is a 1000m horse. A liking for wet tracks says she will show up as well. KENNY SUCCEED will be going forward once more off barrier one. He handles the conditions and racing there could be the spot on the day. MALVERNA has several new gear changes for the resuming run. He does need to do everything right but that hasn't always been the case. CARAVEL just seems to find a few better no matter the grade. He does enjoy affected ground though. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to back Alakai.

Last start slowly away and overraced early stages; got back early 6th of 12 runners at this track Hcp (C2) Aug 12 over 1000m, on heavy track; 6-1/4 len behind Akasaki with 56kg. Before that 13th of 14 runners at Grafton Gneas (Bm70) Jul 13 over 1600m, 9-1/2 len behind Reneged carrying 54kg. Latest form makes this a pretty tough assignment.
