GOING: S(5)

Ladbrokes Mega Multi 0-56 Handicap 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Solid tempo with Watoto using the rails draw with Dubai Fountain not too far away. WATOTO (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1300m at Wodonga. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed and looks nicely placed to play a pivotal role. CUBAN DAWN (2) doesn't boast a great winning strike-rate but raced consistently last preparation and the first-up third placing hinted he's in for another productive campaign. DUBAI FOUNTAIN (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1109m at Echuca. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SAVETHEBESTTILLAST (4) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1450m at Kilmore. Among the chances and will be tough to stop. SOLAR MIST (8) turned in a sound effort last time when third over 1600m at Swan Hill. Back in trip this time. Strong run last time and is likely to be in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Watoto to win.
