GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Mega Multi BM85 Handicap 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: +7m 1000m-W/Post; +6m Remainder.  

From their wide draws Town Crier and Now Is The Hour can establish a strong tempo. YOSHINOBU (15) returns after a four-month spell. Caught the eye first-up in a $250k Magic Millions race at the Gold Coast to launch the last prep but didn't train on. Won a recent trial at Scone by six lengths so he is clearly in good shape. Finds a pretty soft race to kick things off. CASPERNOVA (10) has been thereabouts without threatening in his three runs this time in work. Made late ground to finish midfield in a similar race here three weeks ago. Distance specialist who can return to form without surprising. ISTOLEA MERC (13) charged home to win impressively first-up over 1100m at Canterbury. Should hold that form in what looks an easier assignment. TOWN CRIER (5) led for home only to be gunned down by subsequent winner Soothsayer here at this trip recently. Ready to peak at the third run back from a spell. NAVYONTHEHIGHWAY (4) has been freshened up and is better placed back in Benchmark company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Yoshinobu looks ready to win first-up.
