GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Same Race Multi Benchmark 68 Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Small field in which Quik Rhapid can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. QUIK RHAPID (5) wasn’t far away when resuming at Naracoorte over 1200m, just getting reeled in late. Is yet to be tested over this journey but will roll forward again and give plenty of cheek. SAVSONIC (6) resumes shy of a preferred trip but has the class to make her presence felt. Should get a nice run with Crowther piloting from a low draw. EMERALD REWARD (2) is a track and trip winner that also deserves consideration. AIGUILETTE (1) could be an improver second up in a small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Quik Rhapid.
