GOING: S

Ladbroke It! Sky Heights Stayers Series Final 2080m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 13)   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.42).  

Expecting them to only hack along without any pacemakers engaged. AMLETO (6) has had two runs in Australia and should be ready to fire now. He hit the line beautifully first up over 1500m at Yarra Valley which saw him start $3.50 at Flemington over 1600m but he just battled. By Sea The Stars, he's crying out for more ground and gets it here, in an easier race. Should go close. JAYKAYANN (2) was good first-up over 1600m at Sandown-Hillside and will strip much fitter for that. She's suited to this trip and should be running on strongly. PRISMATIC (7) is rock-hard fit and racing consistently. He hasn't been far away of late and should be thereabouts. BENGAL BOY (1) was good first up at Caulfield off a long spell. Can only be fitter now and has some talent. BLUSHING TYCOON (8) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amleto to win.
