GOING: S(6)

Ladbrokes Odds Surge 0 - 55 Handicap 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True .  

Plenty of pace from Dalt Jaz, Diamond Money and Honourbefore Glory vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. LITTLE PINKER (11) returns after a spell of 16 months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1050m at this track. Has found the right race to kick off the preparation. DALT JAZ (3) made it four minor placings in a row last start when second over 1200m here after being prominent from the outset. Has the early speed to cross from out wide and is hard to beat in this suitable race. RUM RUMBLE (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1050m at Rockhampton, beaten 4 lengths. Will benefit from that outing and is nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again. ZAYA (7) is usually thereabouts and is a must for the exotics players. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Little Pinker.
