GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Racing Club Class 3 Plate 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 0.5m 1000m-W/Post; Out 1.5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.4).  

From wide out The Sherpa, Mr Kobo and Pretty Slick will surge forward and set up a solid tempo. IRISH MAUDIE (10) is resuming from a spell and has since changed stables. She should find things more to her liking around this area and does normally come to hand quickly. Each-way value and a market watch is advised. ZI WIN (6) was a beaten favourite fresh up at Cairns and then made amends when scoring there 8 days ago by a head in a tough performance. He will be even better third up and another win would be no surprise. BEAUTY BOOM (1) has been thereabouts in his last 2 starts on this course and should again be about the money with the benefit of a 3-kilo claim. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Irish Maudie each-way.
