GOING: S

The Carlton Draught BM52 Handicap 1209m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.48)  

Solid tempo with Wagunda possessing enough dash to find the front. Competitive. ZEPHYR WINGS (2) raced favourite at Moe, but may not have enjoyed the wet track. He was narrowly beaten as favourite at Kerang prior, and this is winnable with average luck from the awkward barrier. PAMMY JOY (8) has been around the mark without winning, but a top stable is persevering. Has a sticky gate, but McDougall is aboard today, and she'd be in the finish if she found anything like her best. WAGUNDA (3) wasn't beaten too far here last time and maps well. In the mix as well. TEAM AMERICA (5) showed plenty in NSW early doors and is suited in a 52. He won't be far away if he puts his best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Zephyr Wings.
