---|---|---|---|---|
From wide out Heywood can slide over and set up a genuine tempo. MASTERFUL (1) ran his best race placing at Caulfield in a 70 before the spell. Resumed with a win this grade bet into a short quote. Has a handy 2kg claim and can keep building. ZAMBORGHINI (6) resumes and has won 2/3 fresh. Uses the rails gate and has trialled well. Rates positively and should be hard to beat. PRIVATE JUMBO (17) gets into the field and will be sharper second-up. He has city form that reads well for this and has to be kept safe. VITRUVIUS (5) will be fitter and is going to find country grade much more manageable. Proven third-up and the 3kg claim brings him into it at decent each-way odds. Good enough, but gives away starts and needs luck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Masterful.
