GOING: G

Ladbrokes Back Yourself (Bm70) 1800m

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

Ocean's Fourteen should be positive from out wide Stealthy Lucas can use the low draw. Speed from Macrobius and Ollie The Third, Oceans Fourteen probably comes across with Annunciate onto the pace. THE PASSAGE is bursting to win a race with four placings on end this time in. Bumped into a handy one at Caulfield last start and he has strong claims here. Big watch on POUR VOUS first-up for top stable. Lightly raced import who will run well if fancied so watch betting. OCEAN'S FOURTEEN won well at Geelong before stepping up in trip and battling after being on the speed at Caulfield. Entitled to another chance. Each-way hopes to Annunciate, Radical and Eckhart. SUGGESTED PLAY: Think The Passage gets his chance now.
