GOING: G(4)

PRIZED ICON GUINEAS PRELUDE 3YO BENCHMARK 66 HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 22) Rail: Out 4m 1400m-W/Post; True Remainder.
Should be a good battle early on with Dunloe and Direct Fire leading the charge. EVERIDO (1) promising Canberra-trained gelding who returned good figures late when a close-up fifth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington three-and-a-half weeks ago. Will find this more to his liking and should get the right tempo to finish over the top of these. DUNLOE (4) building a nice record and peaked third-up when a strong on-pace winner over 1400m at Ballarat on March 24. Well drawn again and both wins have come over this trip. Go close. TOES IN THE WATER (7) gritty return in the heavy (8) going when stuck on well to finish third over 1200m at Wagga Riverside in similar company. Goes just as well second-up and undefeated at this trip. CHECK SIDE (12) worth including for value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Everido to win.
