GOING: S(6)

Ladbrokes Bet Ticker Class 3 Handicap 1560m

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

Plenty of pace with Hot Pursuit and Regal Judgement leading from Southaven. MORDECAI (2) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1560m at this track. Form at this course and distance is solid and is sure to be putting in the big strides late again. HE'S THE ONE (6) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1400m at Rockhampton most recently. Great chance to take this out. SOUTHAVEN (3) was comfortably accounted for when ninth last time out over 1835m at Rockhampton, beaten 11 lengths. That followed a win at this circuit at the previous outing. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance and is nicely placed to return to winning form. HOT PURSUIT (1) was beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh in a 1300m contest at Townsville at her latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Mordecai.
