---|---|---|---|---|
Looks to be plenty of pace with Carnegie Hill and Deep Dawn battling for the lead. MAZIS (5) resumes and when last seen he impressed winning a CL1 at Doomben over a middle distance. He'd come off a try at Group level and brings two 1000m trial placings from Doomben. He was only beaten 1.6L at Doomben first up last preparation over 1350m and looks wound up for this. Draws low and Maloney is a key jockey engagement. CARNEGIE HILL (7) switched from Freedman's Sydney yard and lost on protest at Ipswich over 1680m. He's been freshened again and kept up to the mark with a Beaudesert trial placing. Has the ability and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. ROSSO LEVANTO (14) is an improver from the Vandyke stable. She followed a 7.5L Maiden win at the Sunshine Coast with a narrow defeat there in a 58. She's also been freshened and has trialled nicely. Has weight relief and deserves consideration. Ditto GELATIN (3), who peaks for the premier yard. He didn't have the best of it last time in stronger. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mazis appeals.
