GOING: G(4)

CARLTON DRY 3.5% BENCHMARK 68 HANDICAP 2000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Pace sure to be genuine from Vadamos Queen and Nyota matching motors, closely followed by Verbek. DIABELLI (5) lost momentum when it mattered last start and is due a change of luck. At a trip that suits can atone. BULLETS HIGH (3) draws ideally and is an upside type. Has run on strongly in both starts from a spell and finds a longer trip. Right in this. VADAMOS QUEEN (4) has returned in good order with placings in both runs from a break. Won at this trip last prep so must include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Diabelli win.
