SANDOWN-HILLSIDE   20 Feb 2019
 
GOING: G

Ladbrokes Multiverse (Bm70) 1000m

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

Pace strong Raven's Blaze pushes on. MISS VIXEN is fitter for two runs back and ready to win. Put the writing on the wall this class latest when runner up and can go one better. FROM THE CLOUDS is a last start winner. Up a grade but kept fresh for this and expected to go close. DENTAL should be winding up strongly from the inside draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Vixen is ready and should go close.

Looks a definite improver.
