GOING:

LADBROKES QUICK MULTI BAND 5 PACE (B DIV) 2138m

Track: GOOD      

SIR RICHARD LEE (4) has come from the second line in his last two outings but will enjoy the return to the front row having recorded a string of wins and placings from there prior. Hasn't missed a place at this circuit and distance. Big chance. REDS STAR DEAL (9) produced another good performance last time when he battled on for third at Redcliffe. Strong effort here prior when beaten just a neck into second. Draws on the back row but has the hoof on the till and this looks winnable with even luck. RIBEIRO (2) broke last start but led to win here prior so can take advantage of the low draw. ITZBUDDHA (1) has been coming from wider or second row barriers of late but should get every chance from the ace draw.
