GOING: G(4)

LADBROKES BLACKBOOK Class 4 Handicap 1500m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True.  

Abundant early pace with Belle's Boy and Freddie vying for the lead with Prince Of Diamonds. FREDDIE (2) led narrowly beaten at Ipswich first-up and hasn't missed a beat. He will ride the pace and the extra metres suit. Fitter and will be hard to beat. UNION SPIRIT (3) has been saved for this and seeks the hat-trick in stronger. Maps for a soft run and the 3kg claim brings him right into it. BETTER YET (4) is in a sharp metro yard and did about what expected first up. She has plenty up her sleeve and finally draws a low gate. Fitter and a serious player. PRINCE OF DIAMONDS (5) was a big winner at Esk spiking his figures. Gets in light with the 3kg claim and is worth consideration at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Freddie.
