GOING: G(4)

Ladbrokes Own Spring Class 6 Plate 1050m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 4.9).  

Poet's Day and Leadership Spill to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. ENABLER (5) went down by the narrowest of margins at Rockhampton at the latest effort and looks to be nearing another victory. Is a three-time winner over this sprint trip and should be right there at the business end. TOW THE LINE (9) resumes here but has won when fresh before, draws the inside alley, and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. LEADERSHIP SPILL (1) has placed six of seven over this course and distance and strips fitter second-up from the spell. Right in this. DOUBTING EYE (3) has hit the top four in nine of ten starts since joining the new stable and is a must for the multiples. GALBALAN (4) rounds out the selections in a competitive affair. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 5,9,1,3.
