GOING: G(4)

DEBORTOLI FAMILY WINEMAKERS HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.30)  

Moderate tempo with Cash Flow leading the way. AMARLIME (3) could top a successful day for the Durrant stable. She's placed in her last three in better company, and 2x winning rider Pike replaces the 3kg apprentice. Has the inside barrier and is the one they have to beat. JUST ADORABELLE (8) resumed here in stronger and looked a run short. She has more to give and is proven second up. She can make the finish. SAXON JEWEL (11) led and won a Maiden here, jumping a short-priced favourite. Carries a feather again with the 4kg claim and that brings her into it. ET TU BRUTE (2) resumes after 111 days and has switched from a top Victorian stable. He wasn't beaten far at Moonee Valley two back and has won fresh. He owns a Lark Hill trial win and the betting will be key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Amarlime.
