GOING: S(5)

Carlton Draught 3YO Maiden Plate 1203m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 1m Entire Circuit.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. TOWER BRIDGE (7) was firmly in the market on debut at Caulfield Heath having been backed into $4.20, running a solid race there when fourth. He's a well-bred colt who should be better suited to 1203m here and with even luck from the wide gate he'll go close. VERY TORQUEE (8) has placed in all three runs to date, narrowly beaten into second at Wodonga, going down by a long neck. Going the right way and can break through. ZUBBA STORM (9) ran a good race on debut at Moe for third. Better for that and can roll forward to offset the wide gate. Can win with natural improvement. DIVINE BELLINI (11) is a first-starter by Too Darn Hot from Divine Choice for the Hayes yard. She's been jumping out nicely for this and is worth keeping safe. SUZE SPRITZ (14) was solid first up despite being beaten as favourite and has minor claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tower Bridge to win.
