GOING: S

Carlton Draught BM70 Handicap 2350m

Track: SOFT6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.53)  

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. AMIZETTA (11) gets the nod. She's a mare in form, still lightly raced having finished in the quinella at her past four, winning two. Just edged out over 2500m at Morphettville last time by a decent horse, she's likely been set for this on the home deck. DSCHINGIS PRESTIGE (6) finished out the back at Bendigo last time in a strange race where nothing made ground. The third placing to Bur Dubai prior reads well, he can bounce back. EARLY WARNING (8) is going well, not bad at all when fourth in the Terang Cup last time out. An extra 200m here should suit, she'll take some holding out. FERAGO (1) has the big weight but is good enough on his day and will be very fit. WUDDZZ (7) should be ready to peak third up now off a good run in Sydney last time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amizetta to win.
