SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   20 Feb 2019
 
GOING: G

Ladbrokes Cash In (Bm64) 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Partly Cloudy   Rail: Out 9m Entire Circuit.  

Strong pace as Quenton, Lake District Girl, Ray's Dream and Kootara push on. LAKE DISTRICT GIRL was an impressive fresh up winner and sticking with her. Was a city maiden winner by a space when resuming in Adelaide and will be fitter again. Drawn wide but has good speed and will take catching. RAY'S DREAM is fitter for two runs back and is ready to win. Thereabouts in both runs in this class and should be winding up strongly here. PRECOCIOUS GIRL broke through last time despite being wide throughout. Drawn okay here and should enjoy a nice run. TATIARA can run well fresh as can DOWNLOADS. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lake District Girl will be hard to catch again.
