GOING: S(6)

Ladbrokes Mega Multi Handicap 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Yoshi Stardom and Man Of The Sea can lead the small field. PARVENU (5) didn't take long to break her maiden, rising to 1400m, settling back off a strong tempo and rounding her rivals up with ease to score by four lengths. Off that, the rise to 1600m should only suit better and the bigger track here will also play into her hands. M'LADY ROSE (7) ran a solid race first up at Sandown Lakeside behind Gold Coast Belle who has since won impressively in Saturday grade. She got home well enough there having also chased home star filly Sheza Alibi second up last time in. She should relish 1600m and take beating. MAN OF THE SEA (1) has been very good in all three runs this campaign, sticking on well behind a subsequent Group winner Mcwoody last time. He's fit and will be up on speed. PULA (6) pulled up with issues last time and can do much better but is wearing a bit thin while SURPERB FROST (3) is going well and in the minor mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Parvenu to win.
