GOING: G

AME Systems Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.11)  

Genuine tempo from Alcoshare leading Dramaticus. DRAMATICUS (4) is a lightly raced type who won well on debut at Bendigo before a sound effort in a stronger race at Geelong when boxing on for fifth. This is easier and he's open to further improvement. KINGS VALLEY (5) resumed with a smart maiden win at Horsham, running on well to score by 1.5 lengths. He looks a smart type who can go on with the job here. ATAEGINA (7) is a typically consistent type who was edged out in a much stronger race at Moonee Valley last time out. She looks very well placed in this. ALCOSHARE (1) is on the up with two straight wins and can do so again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dramaticus to win.
