GOING: S(7)

LADBROKES EASY FORM Class 1 Handicap 1400m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 11m Entire. (Pent: 5.88).  

Genuine pace with Boom In The Dark taking up the running ahead of Loose Unit. LOOSE UNIT (2) has been beaten a whisker at the Sunshine Coast both runs this preparation and his third-up record is sharp. Maloney stays aboard and that's a decent push for his chances. Started a short-priced favourite last time and can go one better. CARTWHEELS (9) was heavily bet winning an Ipswich Maiden by 5.3L on a heavy surface and resumed there on a soft track, beaten a half-length. She's promising and has been kept on the fresh side. The awkward gate will not be against if the track plays out. BOOM IN THE DARK (5) is in the premier barn and presents off an easy Doomben Maiden win when he led. The rails gate may or may not advantage but he has plenty of scope for improvement. SOUTH SEA (4) is progressive and maps for a soft run. Keep onside. PROSPERINA (13) resumed at monster odds at Doomben beaten 1.4L and it was a big effort from the wide barrier. She's improved and will be better again over the longer sprint. Goes in at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Loose Unit.
