---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of pace from Karasmatic, Dolzino and Annoint primarily. KARASMATIC (3) broke his maiden stylishly over this trip at Swan Hill last start and looks to have more to give. Lightly raced with upside and shapes as the one to beat. DOLZINO (2) has been mixing his form but his peaks stack right up. Has a horror draw to overcome but with even luck he can play a major role. MONTIGO BAY (9) will find this much easier dropping back to the country circuit and should be hitting peak fitness fourth-up. Willing to give another chance. Maiden ANABAA'S SPIRIT (11) is racing consistently, including a desperately close second at Albury last start. Closing in on a win based on that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Karasmatic to win.
