Carbrook has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SHEZ LETHAL (7) hard fit mare with her hoof on the till. Trained on the track and gave her all to the line when second over 1425m at Grafton on March 25. Due for a change of luck and should be going close here. THE RIDDLER (9) finished in the minor money at three of his last four starts. Drops sharply in weight after running through the line late when third over 1410m at Grafton on April 14. Backs-up quickly and is expected to figure prominently. SUPREME LUCAS (8) best performance in five starts with the 59kg when fourth over 1200m at Casino. Gives the impression this trip will suit. Value runner. LIL' BIT VAIG (6) had to work hard from the sticky draw when ninth over 1410m at Grafton on April 14. Trained on the track and expecting more from the soft draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shez Lethal to win.
