GOING: G

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 3 & 4 yo Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 38)   Rail: True.  

Expecting a solid pace with Checkthemenu, Mougenot and Grinzinger Lass leading the charge. GRINZINGER LASS (2) stepped up a few levels 27 days ago and was expected to deliver the hat-trick. Was nabbed last from the speed and is better placed this grade/trip. Deserves another chance. MOUGENOT (1) seeks the hat-trick third-up off easy wins over 1000m. Has lifted his South Australian form and the longer sprint will hold no fears. A player. CHECKTHEMENU (3) resumes today after filling a minor at his last appearance over 1400m. He's up to this and is proven fresh. MATRON SAMSING (4) is a former Victorian who has needed the two runs back. Will take beating if she finds her best synthetic form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Grinzinger Lass.
