GOING: G(4)

Carlton Draught BM70 Highweight Handicap 2856m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 8m 800m - 400m, Out 6m Remainder.  

A small field that lacks a pacemaker. WHISKY MOON (3) scored two back at Stawell over 2700m and then had support over 3000m in stronger in town, and although well beaten, held his numbers over 3000m at Sandown-Lakeside after being in the firing line on the bend. Perfectly placed on an 8-day return. SUNDAY BUZZ (5) resumed over 2700m at Stawell against the above and did enough to suggest he'll be very competitive with the extra fitness. Placed his only start this course and distance. IN YOUR HANDS (6) will be better third-up and over this longer journey. Has had two hurdle trials since her last race 16-days ago. ZOOM (2) resumes for a new stable and has been well prepared. Has won over a mile fresh and has raced in decent metro contests. Worth a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whisky Moon appeals most.
