GOING: H(9)

Carlton Draught BM64 Handicap 1415m

Track: HVY9   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.82).  

Although coming from a wide gate Sentry has enough early speed to cross and lead. KNUCKLEBONES (14) is a lightly raced filly who looks better placed here compared to recent runs, not beaten far last start in a BM78 at Caulfield in a bunched finish. Don't mind her back slightly in trip and back a fair way in grade. MAISY (10) resumes having won her only start to date, scoring narrowly at Seymour before a spell. Level of improvement is the key here. MARGIE'S BOY (2) is coming off a narrow win at Seymour and can go on with it. TESER (3) can feature fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Knucklebones on top.
