GOING: G

Ladbrokes Form Genius Handicap 1000m

Track: Good 3   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Anticipating a good amount of early pressure with many of these two-year-olds facing the starter for the first time. Siding with the un-raced brigade here in a tricky affair. Loved the recent trial of ELSA OF ARENDELLE (7) who charged to the line over 800m at Cranbourne to finish second to Excels. Damian Lane was aboard in that trial and sticks with this Frosted filly here. Tricky draw but she looks talented. FACILITATE (3) is a Capitalist colt who has been jumping out well and gets Blake Shinn aboard. Can roll forward and give a sight. PACIFIC GLAMOUR (10) is a North Pacific filly who has trialled and jumped out well with trial form around some handy ones. Nice draw and she should be competitive. EXCELS (8) beat Elsa Of Arendelle in a recent trial and showed speed to do so. She's drawn very wide but could be quick enough to settle in the first few. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elsa Of Arendelle on top.
