GOING: S(7)

ASAHI SUPER DRY HANDICAP 1400m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.05)  

Strong tempo from Flying Thinker crossing from an outside gate, with Oh Diamond Lil also pushing up. FEDERER (14) lightly raced Dundeel gelding with untapped potential resuming. Strung two dominant wins together in easier grade last prep in Victoria and yet to be tested on rain affected going. Fitted with the two trials and looks set to make a positive return with Zac Lloyd riding from the low draw. BLAZING HARRY (7) anchored with the 62kg on resumption when closing off strongly for a handy fifth over 1300m at Scone in a BM72. Goes well this track and comes to hand quickly. Genuine top three player. OH DIAMOND LIL (6) looks set for a big prep after pulling out plenty at her first run back when saluting over 1300m at Scone. McEvoy retains the ride and will prove hard to catch again. THUNDERLIPS (4) holding his form well and comes here hard fit fifth up. Tricky one to map from the gate and Roper retains the ride. FLYING THINKER (12) holding her form in mares company and proven at this trip. Loves the conditions and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 14,7,6,4.
