GOING: H(10)

Sportsbet Set A Deposit Limit Handicap 1200m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.72)  

Divine Fire to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. VOLTAGE POINT (4) is capable of better than his last outing. Showed what he can do two starts back when second at Murray Bridge. STAR SIRIUS (11) is a handy filly whose best gives her a top-three chance here, while METRICAL (6) hasn't done anything wrong this campaign and must be respected. DELIGHTFUL SHECKY (12) looks an each-way bet at a longer price. IMPENDING DIAMOND (14) has won three of her past five starts this campaign. Will get back and be doing her best work late. PEARL ADIOS (8) resumes. Will be better over slightly further however has won first up in the past and carries nothing on his back after the 2kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Voltage Point each way.
