GOING: G

Ladbrokes Quick Multi Handicap 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Run And Tell and Game Cove to take up the running at a strong tempo. RIVER FROST (1) made it 2 wins on the bounce when making light work of his last start in BM54 grade 4 weeks ago. He won at this level before that, and the hat-trick beckons. TANGO STEPZ (2) is a durable veteran mare who has been racing consistently. She was beaten by a wide trip last time out, and in the small field, she should be right in the finish this time. ARROGANT MISS (4) ran a much better race when tried in front at Tennant Creek last start. She can be a top 3 chance again with similar tactics here. RUN AND TELL (3) failed to fire in his last couple of starts in South Australia, and a change of scenery could be the key to him finding some form again. His best would make him hard to beat in this. GAME COVE (5) has been winless for some time and has been mixing his form. A good draw can help, and he is not out of this. SUGGESTED PLAY: River Frost to win.
