GOING: G

SPORTSBET RATINGS BAND 0 - 50 Handicap 1000m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Good pace from Outcast Soldier, Leucaena and Lord Valen and they'll have company. LORD VALEN (1) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 900m at this track last time out. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. POLLY HOFFA (5) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back with success over 900m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SWEET FANTASY (6) fought on well for third last start over 900m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Another big run is expected. LADY MAGNET (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 10, finishing sixth over 900m at this track. Definite top-three chance fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,5,6.
