GOING: G

ive > Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

They should run this along with Sirena and Lady Sadler taking it up over Altermatum. ALTERMATUM (3) is a progressive Zoustar filly in the McEvoy yard who was purchased for $1.15m as a yearling. She delivered a Ballarat Maiden as expected and then impressed, spiking her figures beaten a whisker on the Hillside. She will present in peak condition and can take the next step. ACTUALITY (1) was back on track, beaten 1.2L in the same contest and Shinn remains aboard. The speed-bred filly is still shy of her best (recorded at Caulfield in a Group 3). Expect her to hold the form and fight out the finish. LADY SADLER (6) resumes owning a trial win, and Williams stays with. Promising and draws to advantage. Keep very safe. BABY HAZEL (2) was sharply better, winning a Bendigo 58 by 3.5L. Keeps Lane and will get every chance to go back-to-back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Altermatum
