LADBROKES TOP 2/3/4 BETTING Maiden Plate 1100m

Track: Soft 5     Rail: True.  

Master Ned to take charge ahead of Southampton Nicco at a strong tempo. Former Victorian GROOVE JET (8) is consistent without winning, hitting the top-five in all nine starts to date and will have come on with that first-up local run now under the belt. Gets in well at the weights with the claim and maps favourably from the inside marble. Looks the one they all have to run down. ONATARE (10) is another that has been right there in recent efforts and will be rock-hard fit for this. Worth serious consideration. DARE I SAY (7) has had a few chances but is usually thereabouts and may run a race while fresh. MASTER NED (5) just missed the placings here at the latest outing and can feature with natural improvement. BETTA THAN PRESLEY (1) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Groove Jet to break through.
