Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge Heat 1 955m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Osamu and Beast Mode to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. Cracking first heat of the 55 second challenge. PASSEGGIATA (11) resumes. She's a very speedy mare who will be right up there early. Her Sydney form reads well. SCUDERIA (7) won the final of this series last year and has been solid in two good races behind Moir Stakes winner Mornington Glory this time in. Impossible to knock. FRILLED (8) is a very speedy mare who should run very well. BEAST MODE (3) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found the front, leading for most of the way before fading late to finish fourth over 1200m at this track. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Passeggiata on top.
