GOING: G

Ryan & McNulty Sawmillers Weary Dunlop Handicap 1206m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.32).  

Arthur The Great can run them along. DUBENENKO (12) resumed off Stakes and Group 3 outings and was beaten a nose at Sale this grade/trip. McDougall stays aboard and she will have taken plenty of improvement. Rates best and fitter she just needs average luck in the run. ROADCONE (9) resumes and is also in a top metro barn. Won both starts last preparation heavily bet and is sure to have come on. He will run along from the inside gate and is a live chance. BOLTSAVER (11) was beaten a lip at Sandown-Hillside two back and is busting to win. The gate is awkward but he can't be ruled out. CHARTWELL HOUSE (1) is in the premier stable and it wouldn't surprise if he went better. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dubenenko has the race form/fitness.
