GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Mega Multi BM60 Handicap 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Humble Hero and Five Star King will likely pair off in front. HUMBLE HERO (4) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1300m at Thangool, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to score again. FIVE STAR KING (5) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 1200m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and shapes as one to consider. LINE 'EM UP LOUI (2) found plenty to salute by 2.25 lengths three runs back at Townsville before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be thereabouts. The well-related LUXOR PRINCE (8) (half to 2xG3 winner and 2xG2 placed Egyptian Symbol) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Humble Hero to bring up the hat-trick.
