4:35am - EVEREST CARNIVAL HANDICAP | 1800m | | i

Some depth, class and progression in this 1800m race. Early speed from MILESAIN and TORYJOY to make sure we get a FAIR tempo. TORYJOY finally got to 1800m last start and settled well in the HEAVY conditions, she remains a risky runner though until more regular strong performances are put in. DR DRILL a more honest type with a brilliant sprint back in grade and LOVEISILI a progressive stayer that will be strong right to the line. COSTELLO perhaps the other key wining hope, he gets ticks for almost all the race factors following a fair first-up run. [updated 8:55am]
