GOING: G

LADBROKES QUICK MULTI PACE 1680m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 11)    

BARBARY TALES (5) did a good job to finish second two starts ago then recorded a commanding win last start, scoring by 9 metres over 1680m at this track. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. RUEBE STARBUCK (9) won at this track two runs ago before having her colours lowered at her latest appearance over 1680m at this track, beaten 8 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Her last run should be overlooked. Good enough to take out a race like this. NANCESTIGER (6) has to come into calculations on the back of some strong recent form, most recently when second at this track over 1680m. Must be included. BARNY BILL (3) is next best and gets every chance from a favourable draw. Include in combinations.
