GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge Heat 11 955m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Hot pace certain with Majesticity, Sakowin and Frose keen to take up the running. MAJESTICITY (3) is a lightly raced four-year-old mare who proved far too speedy first up at Pakenham over 1000m, winning by 2.75 lengths. It was only a 0-62 but she's won two from three and has the right profile for a race like this. LAZY SUSAN (1) is fresh for this having been around the mark in a bunched finish at Flemington last time out. She's proven over this route which is important and she'll just need a bit of luck from the inside gate. ROOM FOR BINGO (4) led and held on second up from a spell at Mornington last time out in a good effort. She's another speedy type who can push forward and take catching. MOON AND BACK (2) is often a victim of her racing pattern but will be charging late with the right race shape. SAKOWIN (6) has won two in a row this time in and could measure up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Majesticity to win.
