GOING: H

Coulter Legal Maiden Plate 1125m

Track: HVY8   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with The Carillo and Struggle Street leading the way. Freedman-trained PARAGRAPH (7) resumes and missed a whisker at Benalla before the spell. She will be further improved and is likely to take a sit and come late. Gets the nod at the each-way quote. THE CARILLO (4) is a leader who has threatened tp win all preparation and his effort here 16 days ago was his best. Peaks and will go close. STORM CAPITAL (3) debuts and is lining up here instead of Ballarat Sunday. Is sure to be well-prepared and Hohn Allen's booking is a lead. TURN UP THE MUSIC (5) showed enough at Cranbourne two-back to suggest this isn't out of reach. SUGGESTED PLAY: Paragraph each way.
