GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Odds Surge Maiden Handicap 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: +2.5m Entire.  

Moderate tempo with Extremely Frilly leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. ONLY ONE LOOK (7) resumes from a break after running a few decent races last time here. Will get back in his races so needs some speed on but is certainly capable of winning. GEE UP (1) got back to last first up and that made the job far too tough. His best effort was when leading so could change tactics here. RUM RUNNER (3) has moved stables and had a freshen up. Does get a nice run from the draw. Some decent form emanates from the maidens he's been in. CHECK ONE TWO (8) is not drawn the best but does have some gate speed. EXTREMELY FRILLY (2) has placed on many occasions. Probably best chance again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Not a strong race but Only One Look can go fresh.
