GOING: G(4)

Quayclean Handicap 2400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 32)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Tavistock Dancer should find the front with Blue Ismay and Palace Winter on his heels. A good staying race. HIGHLAND GLORY (8) improved again over this distance, placing in better grade at Geelong. He's hard-fit and looks well-placed to take this out. JUSTIFIED AT LAST (9) got off the mark over 2100m at Echuca last start, scoring by 6L. Raced forward and again draws to advantage. Has turned the corner and looks capable of taking the next step. BLUE ISMAY (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 4L over 2000m at Pakenham. He's promising and will be fitter again. Should be right in the finish with average luck in the run. POWER PIVOT (3) progressed nicely last time out when he did his best work late to finish just 1.2L away over 2520m at Cranbourne. Finds a suitable race and maps to get every chance. BUDDONG (4) is capable and can show more stepping up to this distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Highland Glory
