Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo. PERFECT GOLD (3) is a lightly raced filly who grabbed her second win from four starts when last seen at Wangaratta. Should have plenty more improvement to come and can win again. DILLINGER (5) has placed in his past two starts and won't need to improve much to be winning this. QUEEN OF DEELS (4) is a handy mare with a promising record, winning comfortably last start at Echuca over 1400m. Bit more depth here but she has upside and maps well. ALLIBOR (2) last start scored a rare win over 1400m at this track. Has ability and is looking for another fair run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Gold on top.
