GOING: G

Do It For Dolly Day BM70 Handicap 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.19)  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Chakado and Legend Of Dubai leading the charge. QUEEN OF TUSCANY (11) is knocking on the door having just found one better at her past two, posting a strong number at Pakenham last time out in a BM64 when beaten a neck. Maps for a soft run midfield and drops 3kg. LEGEND OF DUBAI (1) resumed with a solid win at Pakenham over 1400m, getting the right run and coming clear late. Should only be fitter now and can win again. BOWER BOY (7) struggled over 1717m at Sale last time out but did win at Geelong prior and could be an improver. LOCO (4) resumes off a long injury-enforced layoff. On his day he'd have these covered but the market will be the best guide to his condition. ITSUKUSHIMA (8) can give a sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Of Tuscany on top.
