LADBROKES LIGHTNING HANDICAP - LISTED 1000m Track: Soft 5 Clouds (Max: 23) Rail: +2m Entire Course. (Pent: 5.85) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Certain to be a strong tempo with Steady Ready, Austmarr and Tiger Shark leading the charge. The $160,000 Listed Lightning Handicap. STEADY READY (1) resumes here but loves this track and trip posting four wins and a second from just six outings. Revved up for this with two strong trial victories and a strong showing while fresh would not surprise. PISANELLO (2) made up a bunch of ground late in the Ortensia at Scone and will be ready to peak now. Winning rider McDonald reunites and is expected to measure up. The well-related AUSTMARR (11) (half to G3 winner and G1 placed Hanseatic) wasn't too far away in G1 company last time out and is sure to appreciate the drop back in grade here. Top-three credentials. METALART (13) grows a leg for hoop Rodd who has six wins and a placing from just eight steers. Cannot be discounted. OUR KOBISON (3) best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Steady Ready to keep the picket fence going.
