GOING: G

Ladbroke It! Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True Entire Circuit. (Pent: 5.31).  

Should be a genuine tempo with Lunar Frost pushing forward along with Antarctic Ocean from an outside gate. GRINZINGER EARL (2) franked an improved run for second at his penultimate run with a tough nose win at Benalla last time out. He is bred to improve with racing and now that the penny has dropped, he should go right on with the job. EXZELLO (10) will find this easier than his last run at Sandown-Lakeside where he finished near the rear. He won over this shorter journey fresh up on this track in February and is worth another chance in this. Each-way value. QUEEN OF TUSCANY (3) did not fire in a tougher field at Cranbourne last start and her form before that is a better guide, including a win at this level 2 starts back. She welcomes Carleen Hefel back to the saddle and can bounce straight back into the money. REAL ALLIANCE (7) was a beaten favourite fresh up when needing the run. She got better with racing last prep and can improve quickly second up. Don't drop her and follow your money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Real Alliance each-way.
