GOING: G(4)

CARLTON DRY CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 3m 1200m-350m. True Remainder.  

Plenty of early pressure primarily from Not In Doubt. NOT IN DOUBT (10) promising mare going nicely through her grades. Stretches out to the 1400m for the first time today after finishing a gallant second over 1200m here on April 26. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. LAN KWAI FONG (5) consistent mare who ran on late with the 60kg when resumed with an even fourth over 1200m here on April 26. Looks well placed with the claim from the inside gate. Can return to winning form. MACLEAY (2) has switched yards since finishing 14th seven weeks ago over 1400m at Scone. This looks much easier and has a good record at this track and trip. Sure to be strong late with the claim. DON'TCHA THINK (4) racing well this prep and total forgive at latest from the wide gate when 12th over 1400m at Randwick in Highway company on April 20. Firmer track helps with regular rider back aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,5,2,4.
