SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   15 Aug 2018
 
GOING: G

Ladbrokes Multiverse (Bm70) 2400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain Early   Rail: Out 4m Entire Circuit.  

Darabad comes back from hurdles but he is still likely to take up the running here as is his customary role. Not a great deal of speed and Mirimar may lead, San Remo and Darabad should be forward and maybe Steel Prince comes across. Wide open race. MIRIMAR is working up to a win and was game in a similar race last time out to this trip. At peak and gets a good chance to break through. BORELLA hit the line strongly at Caulfield last start at his first try at the 2400m. Has been thereabouts and is one of the major hopes here. ZEDINATOR scored an upset win in the same race at Caulfield to make it successive wins at double figure odds. If he holds form he is in the finish again. Each-way chances to Big Bad Baz and Annaman. SUGGESTED PLAY: Think Zedinator can go on with the strong win last time.
