GOING: G

Gary Buckley, Life Member 0 - 58 Handicap 1474m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.18).  

Certain to be a strong tempo with Basso Caruso leading the charge. Competitive. QUEEN OF MALWA (8) tries hard and would be hard to beat if she found her best. She was a comfortable winner at her only try at this track and can sit handier today from an inside gate. BENCOUVER (3) is tied up and has plenty up his sleeve. She settled last and wasn't far away in a strong-form race at Benalla last time. Uses and inside gate and has the handy 3kg claim. ALMIGHTY WILL (1) needed the first-up run in stronger and flies second-up. Has a tricky gate but has won twice here and the 2kg claim brings him right into it. GREY GHOST (5) went close at Mornington first up and hasn't missed a beat. Fitter and can get into the money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Of Malwa each way.
